Maxef 1G IV Injection

Maxef 1g IV Injection contains the active ingredient Ceftriaxone Sodium. It belongs to the class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins and is commonly prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections. Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacterial pathogens and is commonly used to treat severe infections.

Uses:

• Maxef 1g IV Injection is indicated for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.
• It is commonly prescribed for serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, septicemia, intra-abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, and certain other bacterial infections.

How It Works:

Ceftriaxone Sodium, the active ingredient in Maxef 1g IV Injection, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and replication of susceptible bacteria. It does this by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) on the bacterial cell wall, which disrupts cell wall formation and ultimately leads to bacterial cell death.
