CEPROLYST ING

About

Ceprolyst Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, primarily used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which is essential for the survival and growth of bacteria. This bactericidal action leads to the destruction of the bacterial cells, effectively clearing the infection. Ceprolyst is particularly effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile option for various severe or complicated infections.

Administered intravenously or intramuscularly, Ceprolyst Injection is typically reserved for serious infections where oral antibiotics may not be sufficient or appropriate. Its clinical applications include treating respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and sepsis. The precise dosage and duration of treatment are determined by the severity and type of infection, as well as the patient's overall health status, under strict medical supervision.
