How it 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.

Warnings & precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria.
