Cefprozil hydrate belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. It is mainly used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Cefprozil hydrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, preventing bacterial proliferation. This leads to the death or growth inhibition of bacteria, thus treating the infection.
