Cefot Injection contains Cefotaxime (2 gm/10 ml), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic administered via intravenous or intramuscular injection. Cefotaxime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including strains resistant to earlier generation cephalosporins.

Cefotaxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death, effectively eliminating bacterial infections. This injectable formulation ensures rapid and high systemic drug levels, making it suitable for severe infections, hospitalized patients, or cases where oral administration is not feasible.
