About PULMOCEF 1500IU INJECTION 1500 MG

PULMOCEF 1500IU INJECTION 1500 MG belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics indicated to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, septicemia (blood infection), meningitis (infection of brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted infections), bone and joint infections.
