Sefdin 300 mg Capsule (Cefdinir Capsules 300 mg)

Sefdin 300 mg Capsule contains Cefdinir, a broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is highly effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections caused by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics.

Sefdin 300 works by stopping the growth of bacteria responsible for infections, providing relief from symptoms and preventing the spread of infection. It is prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, ear, skin, sinuses, urinary tract, and soft tissues.

Uses of Sefdin 300 mg Capsule

• Treatment of respiratory tract infections (bronchitis, pneumonia, pharyngitis)

• Sinus infections (sinusitis)

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Ear infections (otitis media)

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

• Tonsillitis and throat infections

• Infections caused by susceptible bacteria in adults and children

How Sefdin 300 Works

Cefdinir, the active ingredient in Sefdin 300, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to specific penicillin-binding proteins inside bacterial cells, preventing the formation of peptidoglycan — a key structural component of the bacterial cell wall.

As a result, the bacterial cell wall weakens, leading to rupture and death of the bacteria. This effectively stops infection spread and helps restore health.
