CTX GLS 200mg Injection

About

CTX GLS 200mg Injection contains Cefotaxime, a prominent third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. This medication exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, a crucial structural component, ultimately leading to the lysis and death of susceptible bacteria. Cefotaxime demonstrates remarkable efficacy against a broad spectrum of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including many strains that have developed resistance to older antibiotic classes. Its utility is particularly significant in treating serious infections across various body systems, owing to its excellent penetration into diverse tissues and body fluids, notably including the cerebrospinal fluid. Administered either intravenously or intramuscularly, it ensures a rapid and potent bactericidal action, establishing its role as a critical therapeutic agent in hospital settings for managing severe bacterial infections.
