Medicinal Benefits

CEFOR INJECTION 1GM contains Cefpirome, an antibiotic belonging to the fourth-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. CEFOR INJECTION 1GM works by inhibiting the synthesis of the necessary bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections.
