T-Cef DS Suspension 200 mg/5 ml contains Cefixime Trihydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic widely used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, ultimately leading to the destruction of susceptible bacteria. This double-strength (DS) oral suspension is specially formulated for pediatric use, ensuring accurate dosing and improved compliance in children.

Cefixime is effective against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making T-Cef DS Suspension a trusted choice for common community-acquired infections. It is prescribed when infections are confirmed or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible organisms.
