Cefotax 500 Mg Injection 1 contains cefotaxime (500 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Cefotaxime works by blocking certain enzymes in bacteria called penicillin-binding proteins which play a key role in forming a major component of the bacterial cell wall called peptidoglycan.
• Causes Bacterial Death: By disrupting cell wall synthesis, cefotaxime causes the bacteria to break open (lysis), which ultimately leads to their death. This helps reduce the number of bacteria causing the infection in your body.
