Used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as skin and soft tissue infections. Effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Often prescribed when other antibiotics are not suitable due to resistance or patient sensitivity. Administered orally in tablet form, it is absorbed in the intestine and converted to the active form, cefditoren, which inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Commonly used in outpatient settings for mild to moderate infections.
