Cefotax 500 MG Injection is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It is used to treat bacterial infections affecting the lungs, joint, bone, blood, skin, and urinary tract – the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. It is also used to treat a sexually transmitted infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoea bacteria that infects both men and women. This medicine kills or stops the growth of bacteria causing the infection. It is not effective against infections caused by viruses.
Side effects of Cefotax 500 MG Injection are diarrhoea, pain at the injection site, headache, weakness, and dizziness. Do not use this medicine if you are previously allergic to it. It is administered into your vein or muscle by a health care professional in a hospital or clinic. Your doctor will determine how much cefotaxime sodium injection dose you need each day and how often the injections should be given. Once an antibiotic is started, it is always recommended to finish the entire course of treatment.
