Cefot Injection contains Cefotaxime (1 gm/10 ml), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic designed for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) use. Cefotaxime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains resistant to first- and second-generation cephalosporins.

Cefotaxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, weakening the bacterial wall and causing bacterial death. The injectable formulation allows for rapid systemic action, making it suitable for severe infections, hospitalized patients, or cases where oral administration is not possible.
