About Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's

Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's is a combination of two medicines: Cefotaxime and Sulbactam. Cefotaxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime).

Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. The common side effects of Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's are pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's if you are allergic to penicillin, any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, are on a low-salt diet, have diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and elderly people. Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's may not interact with alcohol. Taximax 750 mg Injection 1's may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any organ of the body and multiply very quickly. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses (like sore throat and ear infections) to severe brain infections (like meningitis and encephalitis). When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills and fatigue. A few harmful bacteria that commonly cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
