Description
Ada Cef 125mg/5ml Suspension is a liquid antibiotic that contains Cephradine as its active ingredient. Cephradine is part of the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, designed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is ideal for individuals who may have difficulty swallowing tablets, such as children, as the liquid form is easier to ingest. Ada Cef is commonly prescribed for the treatment of infections in the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, and more. Its effective antibacterial properties work by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial cell destruction.
Functions
Ada Cef 125mg/5ml Suspension works by targeting and inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It is effective against a broad range of bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory Infections: Such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis.
- Gastrointestinal Infections: Including infections in the intestines or stomach.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Like cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections.
- Bone and Joint Infections: Including osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.
- Blood Infections (Septicemia): A serious condition that occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream.

Precautions
Before using Ada Cef 125mg/5ml Suspension, please consider the following precautions:

- Renal (Kidney) Impairment: If you have kidney problems, the dosage of Ada Cef may need to be adjusted. It is important to consult with your doctor before use.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: The safety of Ada Cef during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not fully established. It is advised to consult your healthcare provider to determine if this medicine is appropriate for you.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice regarding dosage and usage.
Side Effects
Like any medication, Ada Cef 125mg/5ml Suspension may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects may include:
- Gastrointestinal Upset: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort are possible.
- Allergic Reactions: Skin rashes, itching, or swelling, especially for individuals with a history of penicillin allergies.
- Rare Side Effects: More severe reactions such as pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the large intestine) or severe allergic reactions could occur. If you notice any symptoms such as unusual fatigue, severe diarrhea, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
If you experience any of these side effects or have concerns about how the medication is affecting you, consult your doctor promptly.
Cautions
- Penicillin Allergy: If you are allergic to penicillin, Ada Cef should be used with caution as it belongs to the same class of antibiotics as penicillin, which could cause cross-reactivity in sensitive individuals.
- Kidney Function: Those with kidney problems should use Ada Cef carefully. Adjustments to dosage or close monitoring may be necessary.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: The effects of Ada Cef during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not well-documented, so it is important to speak with your doctor to assess the risks and benefits before using this medication.
- Full Course of Treatment: It’s essential to complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early may lead to a relapse of infection and antibiotic resistance.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated while using this antibiotic to help support your body’s natural defense mechanisms.
