Composition

• Active Ingredient: Ceftriaxone Sodium 500 mg per vial

Indications

Topcef Injection is indicated for the treatment of:

• Lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)

• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Intra-abdominal infections

• Septicemia (bloodstream infections)
• Meningitis (as prescribed in hospital settings)

Mechanism of Action

Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This prevents the formation of peptidoglycan, an essential structural component of bacterial cell walls. The disruption leads to weakening of the cell wall and ultimately bacterial cell death, effectively treating infections.
