Doctors in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Vericef Capsule for throat, skin and urinary infections seen in general practice.
Cephradine stops bacteria from building a proper cell wall. This weakens the bacterial wall and destroys the infection causing organism.
Vericef Capsule works best when the full course is completed as prescribed. Stopping early can allow infection to return and raises the risk of antibiotic resistance.
