Active Ingredients
The active ingredient is Cefotaxime (500Mg). It stops bacteria from building their protective cell walls. This targeted action is what makes it effective for its approved uses.

Always use it exactly as your doctor prescribes; this product is 500Mg. The right amount depends on your age, condition and response, so never increase, reduce or stop it on your own. If you are unsure, check the leaflet or ask your pharmacist.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, it may cause side effects in some people, such as diarrhoea, nausea, rash or injection-site reactions. These are often mild and settle on their own, but seek medical advice if any are severe or persistent.
Warnings and Precautions
Not for penicillin/cephalosporin allergy; complete the full course. Tell your doctor about your full medical history, allergies and any other medicines or supplements you take. Use only if prescribed during pregnancy.
Storage Instructions
Stored and handled by the clinic, and refrigerated if required. Always keep it out of the reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date.
