Cefot Injection contains Cefotaxime (500 mg/10 ml), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic designed for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration. Cefotaxime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains resistant to first- and second-generation cephalosporins.

Cefotaxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial lysis and death. The injectable formulation allows for rapid systemic absorption, making it ideal for acute or severe infections, hospitalized patients, or situations where oral therapy is not feasible.
