Effectiveness

How Velosef works in the bodyCefradine is an antibiotic that works by blocking the formation of bacterial cell walls. It attaches to proteins inside the cell wall and prevents it from fully forming. This causes the cell wall to break apart, leading to the death of the bacteria. It also might stop an enzyme from protecting the cell wall, making it even easier for the wall to break down.

When to interrupt dosage

The suggested dose of Velosef is contingent upon the diagnosed affliction, including Respiratory Tract Infections, Septic Arthritis and Sepsis Bacterial. The dosage amount oscillates based on the administration technique (e.g. Suspension or Capsule, gelatin coated - Oral) denoted in the table beneath.
