Cefalin Injection 1 gm/vial contains Cefazolin Sodium, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Cefazolin works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the death of susceptible bacteria. It is effective primarily against Gram-positive bacteria and some Gram-negative strains, making it a versatile option for both community-acquired and hospital-acquired infections.

Cefalin 1 gm is typically administered via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection, allowing for rapid absorption and therapeutic action. It is commonly used in serious infections, particularly when high concentrations of the antibiotic are required quickly. This formulation is also frequently used for surgical prophylaxis to prevent postoperative infections in patients undergoing major surgical procedures.
