Functions

The primary function of Ag-Ceph 125mg|5ml Suspension is to combat bacterial infections by stopping the growth of bacteria. It works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of bacterial cells. This medication is used for treating infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and gastrointestinal infections. Ag-Ceph is also useful in preventing infections during surgery and in treating more severe conditions like blood poisoning (sepsis) and heart infections (endocarditis).

It is important to complete the entire prescribed course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to avoid antibiotic resistance.
