Zefyted 250mg Tablet

About

This medication is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, typically belonging to the cephalosporin class, which is highly effective against a diverse range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its primary mechanism of action involves interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, a vital structural component. By disrupting this process, the antibiotic causes the bacterial cells to become unstable, leading to their lysis and eventual death. This bactericidal action makes it a potent agent for treating various bacterial infections affecting different body systems, including respiratory, urinary, and skin infections. The availability of an oral formulation offers significant convenience for outpatient treatment, ensuring effective eradication of susceptible pathogens and promoting a swift resolution of the infection, thereby improving patient recovery and reducing the need for hospitalization.
