Composition

• Cephradine 250 mg per 5 ml

Mechanism of Action

Cephradine is a beta-lactam antibiotic of the cephalosporin class. Its antibacterial action involves:

• Binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on bacterial cell walls

• Inhibiting the cross-linking of peptidoglycan, which is essential for cell wall integrity

• Leading to cell lysis and bacterial death in actively dividing bacteria

By targeting bacterial cell walls selectively, Cephradine effectively eliminates infection while sparing human cells, which lack cell walls, ensuring safety when used appropriately.
