Taxim 250mg Injection contains the active component cefotaxime. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic medication used to treat various bacterial infections. It belongs to the class of antibiotics known as third-generation cephalosporins. This medication works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, helping the immune system eliminate the infection. Taxim 250mg Injection is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It covers a wide range of pathogens, including common bacteria responsible for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively treats central nervous system infections. This medication is generally well-tolerated by most individuals. While side effects can occur, they are typically mild and transient, with serious adverse reactions being rare.

Taxim 250mg Injection should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or severe allergic reactions to cephalosporin antibiotics or any of the components of the medication. It should be used cautiously or avoided in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly colitis or pseudomembranous colitis. It can worsen these conditions or lead to antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The kidneys primarily excrete it, so individuals with severe renal impairment (markedly reduced kidney function) may require dosage adjustments. This medication should be used cautiously in neonates (newborn infants) with jaundice. Taxim 250mg Injection should not be mixed or administered simultaneously with calcium-containing solutions or products, such as lactated Ringer's or parenteral nutrition containing calcium. These solutions can cause precipitation and inactivation of this medication.
