Indications

Navacef Pediatric Drop is indicated for the treatment of:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (tonsillitis, pharyngitis, sinusitis)
• Lower respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia)
• Otitis media (ear infections)
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children

Mechanism of Action

Cefaclor works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the formation of a stable bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening of the bacterial structure and ultimately causes bacterial cell death. It is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
