What is Cefotaxime Soluble Powder?
Active Ingredients: Cefotaxime
Cefotaxime Soluble Powder is an antibiotic drug used to treat or prevent certain bacterial infections in poultry, dogs, horses, and livestock animals like cows or pigs. It is typically used for infections like shipping fever, bacteremia or bone and joint infections.
As cefotaxime is known to cross the blood-brain barrier, it can be used to treat sepsis caused by gram-negative bacteria.
Cefotaxime is a third-generation antibiotic within the cephalosporin family. It works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis within the bacteria. This antibiotic shows broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including E. Coli. Cefotaxime is not an effective treatment for infection caused by Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus.
This antibiotic also displays bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria. It is highly active against Enterobacteriaceae and Streptococci.
