Uses of Ceff 250 DT

Treatment of Bacterial infections Treatment of Urinary tract infections (UTIs) Treatment of Superficial Pyoderma

Benefits of Ceff 250 DT

In Bacterial infection
Ceff kills a wide range of bacteria by breaking down their cell walls, bringing the infection under control. Finishing the full course prevents it coming back.
In Chest infection
Ceff treats bacterial infections of the chest, easing the cough, fever and breathlessness as the bacteria are cleared.
In Urinary infection
Ceff clears the bacteria behind burning, frequency and pain on passing urine.
In Ear and throat infection
Ceff treats bacterial infections of the ear, throat and sinuses, relieving the pain and fever they cause.
In Typhoid
Ceff kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.

How Ceff 250 DT works

Ceff 250mg Tablet DT works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell walls. It binds to specific proteins in the bacteria, blocking the formation of peptidoglycan, a key component of the cell wall. Without this support, the bacterial wall becomes weak and breaks, leading to the death of the bacteria. This makes Ceff 250mg Tablet DT effective in treating bacterial infections.

Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.
