Used as a prodrug antibiotic, it is orally administered and converted in the body to cefcapene, the active form. It is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections including respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and pediatric infections. Its design enhances oral absorption, making it suitable for outpatient treatment. The pivoxil ester component improves intestinal uptake, while the Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group stabilizes the molecule until it is metabolized. Commonly prescribed in Japan and some Asian countries, it offers convenience and broad-spectrum coverage against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
