THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
ANTIBIOTIC
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
CEFOTAXIME for Injection USP (cefotaxime sodium) is a third generation
semisynthetic
cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefotaxime exerts its bactericidal action
through the inhibition of
bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefotaxime is an aminothiazolyl
cephalosporin and contains an
aminothiazolyl-acetyl side chain, with an alpha-syn-methoximino group
at position 7 of the
cephalosporin nucleus. The aminothiazolyl side chain enhances
antibacterial activity, particularly
against Enterobacteriaceae, and the methoximino group imparts
stability against hydrolysis by
many β-lactamases.
