Cephradine
A first-generation cephalosporin available in both oral and parenteral formulations, used for mild to moderate respiratory, skin, and urinary tract infections caused by gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. It was notable for being one of the few early cephalosporins available in both formulation types. Its clinical use has largely declined in favor of more modern antibiotics.
