Keflin is an older brand name for the antibiotic cephalothin, another member of the cephalosporin family. Like other cephalosporins, it fights bacterial infections by disrupting the formation of bacterial cell walls. Think of it as throwing a wrench into the bacteria's construction project. It was commonly used in hospitals, often administered intravenously. Keflin is not as commonly used today as newer antibiotics have been developed. 🏥
