Extacef I 1g Injection 1 contains ceftriaxone (1000 mg) and works on your body in the following ways:

• Interferes with Cell Wall Formation: Ceftriaxone disrupts bacteria's ability to form cell walls, which provide structural integrity to bacterial cells.
• Causes Cell Rupture: By weakening the bacterial cell wall, ceftriaxone causes the cells to burst open or rupture.
• Clears Infection: The rupture of bacterial cells leads to their death helping clear up the infection.
• This bactericidal activity of ceftriaxone makes it effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
