About Cephalkem-500 Capsule
Cephalkem-500 Capsule 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, Cephalkem-500 Capsule is also used to treat dental infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Cephalkem-500 Capsule does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Cephalkem-500 Capsule is bactericidal in nature. Cephalkem-500 Capsule works by blocking enzymes responsible for making peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections.

Cephalkem-500 Capsule may affect certain laboratory test results such as blood tests for liver function, glucose test, and coombs test.
