Cefot Injection contains Cefotaxime (250 mg/5 ml), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic formulated for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration. 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, which weakens the bacterial wall and leads to bacterial death. The injectable formulation allows for rapid systemic action, making it suitable for acute or severe infections, hospitalized patients, and situations where oral therapy is not feasible.
