Product Information

  • Description

    Cephradine is a bactericidal antibiotic that belongs to the cephalosporin class, similar to penicillin. It is used to treat bacterial infections by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Cephradine inhibits the hydrolysis of acetylthreonine residues, which is essential for cell wall stability. This leads to weakened cell walls and eventual lysis of bacterial cells. It is effective against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, even against antibiotic-resistant strains. It can be administered intravenously or intramuscularly for systemic infections and topically for certain skin infections.
