Medicine Description velosef 125mg
Velosef 125mg Syrup is a medication that belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. Its action mechanism revolves around inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of the bacteria. By binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located on the bacterial cell wall, cephradine disrupts the transpeptidation process, leading to cell lysis and death. This bactericidal effect is primarily effective against rapidly growing bacteria, making it suitable for treating a range of infections caused by susceptible organisms.
