Composition

• Active Ingredient: Cephradine 250 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action

Cephradine works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are essential for building the bacterial cell wall. This disrupts cell wall formation, leading to bacterial cell lysis and death, thereby effectively clearing the infection.
