HACEF

Hacef is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works as a bactericidal in action. The drug’s antibacterial effectiveness, like that of other cephalosporins, is due to the suppression of mucopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. Moreover, Hacef has a wider spectrum of action against gram-negative bacteria than first- and second-generation cephalosporins, although it is often less effective in vitro agains sensitive staphylococci than first-generation cephalosporins.

Use this medication precisely as recommended by your physician. Follow the prescription of your doctor carefully.

The medication dose your physician has given is based on your condition, other medications or food supplements you may take, and your reaction to treatment. To diminish your risks for adverse effects, don’t increase your dosage, take it regularly, or take it as instructed by your physician. Adverse events may still happen even at usual prescription dosages.

If your physician requests you to use this drug consistently, use it regularly to get the most benefits from it. To make you remember it better, take it at a fixed time every day.

Your doctor may need to modify your dosages to ease your symptoms or if you develop adverse reactions.

If you have any inquiries with regards to information, ask your physician or pharmacist.
