SPORIDEX 500 CAPSULE

Spirodex 500mg capsule is an antibiotic medicine containing cephalexin. It is used to treat bacterial infections like infections of the lungs, respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and pneumonia. Cephalexin in Spirodex inhibits the cell wall synthesis of bacteria, the absence of a cell wall leads to the death of bacteria and treats the infection by preventing the further spread of infection. Avoid using it if you are allergic to Cephalexin or penicillin antibiotics. Take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Take Spirodex 500 with meals to avoid stomach upset. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly, as it may lead to treatment failure.

scienceMechanism of Action (How it works)

expand_more

Sporidex 500 Capsule works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell walls. It binds to specific proteins in the bacteria, blocking the formation of peptidoglycan, a key component of the cell wall. Without this support, the bacterial wall becomes weak and breaks, leading to the death of the bacteria. This makes Sporidex 500 Capsule effective in treating bacterial infections.
