Sifotaxim 250mg Injection 1 contains Cefotaxime (250 mg), which acts in the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits cell wall synthesis: The cefotaxime works by blocking cell wall creation in bacterial cells. This happens through disrupting penicillin-binding proteins, which are crucial for cell wall formation.
• Causes bacterial death: By disrupting cell wall formation, cefotaxime causes the bacterial cells to rupture and die due to an imbalance in pressure inside and outside the cell. This is how it helps manage bacterial infections in your body.
