Infexin 125mg/5ml Suspension 60ml contains Cephradine, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in children and adults. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria through inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis, helping the body eliminate the infection effectively.

Infexin suspension is commonly prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, throat, ears, skin, soft tissues, and urinary tract. It is especially suitable for children due to its liquid formulation, making it easier to administer compared to tablets or capsules.

This medicine should only be used for bacterial infections and is not effective against viral illnesses such as the common cold or flu. Always complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early to prevent resistance and recurrence of infection.
