Composition

• Cephradine 125 mg per 1.25 ml

Mechanism of Action

Cephradine is a beta-lactam antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class. It exerts its antibacterial effect by:

• Binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in bacterial cell walls

• Inhibiting the final stage of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is essential for cell wall integrity

• Causing bacterial cell lysis and death in actively dividing bacteria

This mechanism ensures rapid and effective eradication of susceptible bacterial pathogens while minimizing harm to human cells, as mammalian cells lack cell walls.

• Respiratory tract infections: such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and tonsillitis

• Ear, nose, and throat infections: including otitis media and pharyngitis

• Urinary tract infections: including cystitis

• Other susceptible bacterial infections as determined by a healthcare professional

Benefits

• Pediatric-Friendly Formulation: Liquid drops allow accurate dosing based on weight and age

• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against many Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria

• Rapid Symptom Relief: Reduces fever, inflammation, and infection-related discomfort
