Duracef Capsule 200 mg contains Cefixime Trihydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and is commonly prescribed for infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ears, throat, and gastrointestinal system.

Cefixime works by preventing the growth and multiplication of bacteria, helping the body recover from infection and relieve associated symptoms. Duracef Capsule should only be used for bacterial infections and is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or influenza.
