Taximax 1500 mg Injection

Taximax Injection from Alkem combines cefotaxime (a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic) with sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). It is used in hospital settings for serious infections where resistance is a concern. Supplied as a single vial.

• Severe chest, urinary, or skin infections
• Intra-abdominal and gynaecological infections
• Bone and joint infections

Cefotaxime damages the bacterial cell wall, causing bacteria to die. Sulbactam blocks enzymes that some bacteria use to break down the antibiotic, helping cefotaxime stay effective.

Given as an injection by a trained healthcare professional, as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the full course even if you feel better.

• Pain or redness at the injection site
• Nausea, diarrhoea, or rash
• Rare allergic reactions
• Changes in blood counts with long use

Tell your doctor about any penicillin or cephalosporin allergy, kidney problems, or pregnancy. Seek urgent help for breathlessness, hives, or facial swelling.

Store the vial below 25°C, away from light. After reconstitution, use as directed by the hospital team. Keep out of reach of children.
