Is cephalosporin also called "Xianfeng"?
"Cephalin" refers to cephalin antibiotics, while "cephalosporin" refers to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics. Generally speaking, cephalosporin antibiotics are not called cephalin antibiotics. The detailed explanation is as follows:
Under normal circumstances, cephalin antibiotics belong to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. Cephalin antibiotics are first-generation cephalosporins, but not all cephalin antibiotics are classified as cephalosporins. For example, Cephalin No. 1 is cephalothin, No. 2 is cefaloridine, No. 3 is cefalexin, No. 4 is cephalexin, No. 5 is cefazolin, and No. 6 is cefradine. Besides these, cephalosporin antibiotics also include other drugs such as cefadroxil. Therefore, the category of cephalosporin antibiotics is broader than that of cephalin antibiotics.
It is recommended to use medications properly under the guidance of a physician. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly to facilitate recovery.
