Cefotaxime Sodium for Injection, USP is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with potent activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

As a sterile injectable β-lactam antibiotic, Cefotaxime provides fast-acting bactericidal effects and is commonly used for both adult and pediatric patients.
Cefotaxime works by: Binding to Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs) in bacterial cell walls, Inhibiting the final transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis, Weakening the bacterial cell wall, which leads to cell lysis and rapid bactericidal effect
