The ideal antibiotic for pre or post-operative care, Kefotex is composed of third generation Cephalosporin. 

Composition: 

Each vial contains sterile Cefotaxime Sodium equivalent to Cefotaxime. Vials of volumes 1 g, 500 mg and 250 mg are available.   

Mechanism of Action:

Kefotex is an antibiotic of the cephalosporin group and has a bactericidal effect. Improved antibacterial activity is due to high stability towards beta-lactamase. Cefotaxime restrains the synthesis of the bacteria cell wall and thus affects the bacteria in its division. Its antibacterial activity against gram-negative rod shaped bacteria is many times stronger than that of known cephalosporin and penicillins and in most pathogens the bactericidal concentration is slightly higher than its minimum inhibitory concentration. 

Indications:

Kefotex Injection is indicated in the management of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) and Nosocomial Infection (Hospital Acquired Infection) 

Dosage And Administration:

Kefotex solution should be administered as soon as it has been prepared. The solution should not be stored at temperatures exceeding 25°C and not stored for over 24 hours.
