Dicef Pediatric Drop 125 mg/1.25 ml contains Cephradine 125 mg, a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated specifically for pediatric use. This liquid formulation is ideal for infants and children who may have difficulty swallowing capsules or tablets, providing accurate dosing and ease of administration. Cephradine works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of susceptible bacteria. This mechanism makes Dicef Pediatric Drop effective against many gram-positive bacteria and certain gram-negative organisms commonly responsible for infections in children.

The pediatric drop formulation ensures proper dosage according to the child’s weight and age, making it a safe and effective option for managing mild to moderate bacterial infections. Its palatable composition enhances compliance in young patients, ensuring consistent therapeutic effects.
