Cefprozil

What is Cefprozil? Cefprozil is an oral, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used primarily to treat bacterial infections such as acute bronchitis, pharyngitis (sore throat), tonsillitis, and pneumonia. It works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall formation, ultimately leading to bacterial death. Cefprozil is available in both capsule and oral suspension formulations for pediatric use, and its efficacy is established across various age groups, from children to adults. What is Cefprozil used for?...
