Dicef Suspension 125 mg/5 ml contains Cephradine 125 mg, a broad-spectrum first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This oral suspension is formulated to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections in children and adults, providing effective antibacterial therapy in a palatable, easy-to-administer liquid form. Cephradine works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death, making it highly effective against gram-positive bacteria and some gram-negative organisms.

Dicef Suspension is particularly suitable for pediatric patients or individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. Its well-balanced formulation ensures accurate dosing and optimal absorption, allowing rapid therapeutic effects in managing mild to moderate bacterial infections.
