About Supacef 250 mg Injection
Supacef 250 mg Injection 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. Supacef 250 mg Injection is also used to prevent infections during surgery.
Supacef 250 mg Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against a wide range of bacteria.
