Pivcefalexin is a prodrug form of cephalexin, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It is converted into its active form, cephalexin, after being absorbed in the body. Pivcefalexin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis through binding to penicillin-binding proteins, leading to the disruption of cell wall integrity and causing bacterial cell death.
