HOW TAXIMAX 750MG INJECTION WORKS
TAXIMAX
750MG INJECTION helps to manage bacterial infections, where cefotaxime
works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (which are responsible
for the formation of bacterial cell wall) and inhibit the synthesis of
bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial cell death and sulbactam works
by binding and inhibiting beta-lactamase (an enzyme that destroys
antibiotic activity) produced by bacterial cells and thereby manages the
reduction in antibacterial activity.
