About Ceff-ER Tablet

Ceff-ER Tablet belongs to the group of antibiotics called cephalosporin used to treat various bacterial infections of the nose, lungs, ear, bones, joints, skin, urinary tract, prostate gland, and reproductive system. Besides this, Ceff-ER Tablet is also used to treat dental infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.
