Taxone XP 1gm Injection: Complete Overview
Product Composition:
Taxone XP 1gm Injection is a powerful antibiotic that combines:
-
Ceftriaxone (1000 mg): A third-generation cephalosporin that kills bacteria by disrupting their cell wall synthesis.
-
Tazobactam (125 mg): A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ceftriaxone from bacterial enzymes, enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.
