About

Caximeg Suspension 240ml is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic, primarily formulated for pediatric use, though it can be used in adults. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for treating various bacterial infections. The active ingredient works by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of the bacteria. This suspension form ensures ease of administration, especially for children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Completing the full course of treatment is crucial to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
