Cefetamet pivoxil hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of the pivaloyloxymethyl ester prodrug of cefetamet, a semisynthetic third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is particularly effective against respiratory tract infections, including bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and pharyngitis/tonsillitis, as well as otitis media. The compound is also prescribed for urinary tract infections such as cystitis and skin and soft tissue infections like cellulitis or impetigo. Its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity makes it a reliable option for managing infections in both adults and children. The drug is administered orally, ensuring ease of use and patient compliance. It works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, thereby inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and effectively stopping the growth and spread of harmful bacteria.
