Cephadex DT is utilized for treating a variety of infections caused by bacteria. These include respiratory tract infections, bone infections, middle ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sore throat. Additionally, it may be used to prevent endocarditis (inflammation of the heart valves) resulting from an infection.

 

Cephadex DT is classified within the cephalosporin group of drugs (antibiotic). It disrupts the formation of bacterial cell walls, leading to their rupture and subsequent elimination of the bacteria. The medication is available in both tablet and liquid forms for oral use.

 

The dosage of Cephadex DT is based on factors such as age, overall health, the specific condition being treated, its severity, and how your body responds to the initial dose. If a dose is missed, it may be taken as soon as you remember, unless it's nearly time for the next scheduled dose. Avoid taking two doses at once to compensate for a missed one, as this could result in an overdose, leading to nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, and blood in the urine.

 

The common side effects of Cephadex DT include indigestion, abdominal pain, and irritation or inflammation of the stomach lining. These effects are generally mild and tend to resolve within a few days.
