Introduction

How To Use

• Cefotaxime is  infused into a vein or a muscle.
• When Cefotaxime is needed to prevent infection after surgery, a healthcare professional will administer this injection.
• A health professional may instruct you how to administer the medicine properly on your own to treat an illness.
• Carefully read and follow any guidelines for use that come with your medicine. If you don’t understand something, go to your pharmacist or doctor.
• Before using Cefotaxime, it should be combined with a liquid (diluent). You may have to dilute the combination medicine more before administering your dose. If you use the injections at home, fully learn how to prepare and keep the medicine appropriately.

Expert Advice

• Thaw the frozen pre-mixed solution bag in the fridge or at room temperature if you’re using it. Allow at least 1 hour for the bag to come to room temperature once it has been defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not thaw in a boiling water or in the microwave. After melting, give the bag a good shake and squeeze to check for leakage. If the bag leaks, throw the solution. After thawing, do not freeze the solution again.
• Take Cefotaxime at regular intervals for best results. Take this medicine every day at the same time so that you do not forget to take a dose.
• Even if your symptoms go away within a few days, keep taking Cefotaxime for the whole duration recommended. Stopping the treatment too soon may cause the infection to recur.
• If your issue persists or worsens, notify your doctor.
• It should be kept at room temperature
• Keep the medicine out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not use it after the expiration date has passed.
