PROPERTIES
Cytaxin is an antibiotic of the cephalosporin group and has a
bactericidal effect. Its antibiotic
activity against Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria is many times
stronger than that of the
traditional cephalosporin and penicillins. In most pathogens, its
minimum bactericidal
concentration is slightly higher than its minimum inhibitory
concentration.
Resistance develops slowly, as with penicillin. In vitro studies of
combinations of Cefotaxime
with aminoglycoside antibiotics reveal a synergistic or additive
effect.
The serum protein binding is 32 – 50%, depending on the method used,
After injection, high Cefotaxime concentrations clearly exceeding the
susceptibility of most
pathogens are obtained in serum, tissues, and body fluids.
Cefotaxime is excreted mainly through the kidneys in an
antibacterially active form.
INDICATIONS
Severe infections caused by cefotaxime-susceptible pathogens;
Infections
- of the respiratory tract, including nose and throat

reduced resistance.
Cefotaxime is generally effective against the following pathogens:
Staphylococci, aero
