Composition

• Active Ingredient: Cephradine 250 mg

Indications

Sefro Capsule is indicated for the treatment of:

• Respiratory tract infections (pharyngitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis)
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Skin and soft tissue infections

Mechanism of Action

Cephradine works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to weakening of the cell wall and ultimately causes bacterial cell death, effectively eliminating the infection.
