Ceforan DS Suspension 80 mg/5 ml contains Cefpodoxime Proxetil, a third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic designed to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. Cefpodoxime Proxetil works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to bacterial death. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many pathogens responsible for respiratory, urinary, skin, and soft tissue infections.

This oral suspension is particularly suitable for children, elderly patients, or individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets. The suspension allows for accurate dosing based on body weight or age, ensuring effective therapy and improved compliance. Ceforan DS is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and converted into its active form, providing efficient antibacterial action.
