Cefradine is a cephalosporin. Like penicillins, it is a beta-lactam antibiotic. It acts by binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall thus it inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Without a cell wall, a bacterial cell is vulnerable to outside water and molecular pressures, which causes the cell to quickly die.

Cefradine capsules are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including:

Tonsillitis
Sinusitis
Pharyngitis
Laryngo-tracheobronchitis
Ear infections (otitis media)
Chest infections (bronchitis or pneumonia)
Skin infections
Bladder, urethra (the tube which carries urine from the bladder), and kidney infections

The capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and can be taken before or after meals.
However, if you find that this medicine upsets your stomach it may help to take it with food.
The recommended dose is 250mg or 500mg 4 times a day or 500mg-1000mg 2 times daily
If you are giving Cefradine Capsules to your child, your doctor will work out the right dose depending on your child’s weight.
The recommended dose is 25mg to 50mg/kg body weight daily in divided doses
Doses may be changed in special conditions so always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
If you take more than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital straight away.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember it unless it is nearly time for your next dose.
Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for the forgotten dose.
