Description

Ada Cef 250mg/5ml Suspension is a liquid antibiotic designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Formulated with Cephradine (250mg per 5ml), a potent cephalosporin antibiotic, this medication is effective against various bacterial pathogens. Ideal for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets, Ada Cef Suspension is easy to administer, especially for children or individuals who prefer liquid medication. It is used to treat infections in the respiratory system, urinary tract, skin, bones, and joints, as well as to prevent infections during surgical procedures. By inhibiting the growth of bacteria, Ada Cef works to clear infections and help the body recover.

Functions

Ada Cef 250mg/5ml Suspension is primarily used for treating bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It functions by disrupting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria. Some of the common conditions it treats include:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Includes cystitis and pyelonephritis.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Like cellulitis and abscesses.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Such as osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.
• Blood Infections (Septicemia): In severe cases where bacteria enter the bloodstream.
• Endocarditis: Inflammation of the heart’s inner lining.
• Prevention of Surgical Infections: To reduce the risk of bacterial infection during and after surgery.

This suspension is also commonly prescribed to prevent infection in patients undergoing major surgeries, thereby reducing the risk of complications.

Precautions

• Allergy History: Patients with a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillin should exercise caution, as there may be a cross-reactivity between these classes of antibiotics.
• Renal Impairment: Those with kidney problems should consult their healthcare provider before using Ada Cef, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Although data on the safety of Ada Cef during pregnancy and breastfeeding is limited, it is crucial to consult a healthcare provider to weigh the potential risks and benefits.
• Proper Dosing: It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage instructions accurately. Using the included measuring device ensures you take the correct amount.
• Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids can help avoid dehydration, especially if gastrointestinal side effects like diarrhea occur.

Side Effects

While Ada Cef 250mg/5ml Suspension is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common side effects include:

• Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.
• Allergic Reactions: Rash, itching, and swelling may occur, especially for those with penicillin or cephalosporin allergies.
• Pseudomembranous Colitis: A severe type of gastrointestinal inflammation that can lead to diarrhea and other symptoms.
• Other Reactions: Rare reactions like dizziness, headache, or fatigue may also be reported.

If any severe side effects occur, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or persistent diarrhea, seek medical attention immediately.

• Allergic Reactions: If you have a history of allergies to cephalosporins, penicillin, or any other ingredients in Ada Cef, avoid using this product and consult your doctor for alternatives.

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: The effects of Ada Cef during pregnancy and breastfeeding are not fully established. Always consult with your healthcare provider before using the medication during these times.
