Common NameCefotaxime
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionCefotaxime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Like other third-generation cephalosporins, it has broad spectrum activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. In most cases, it is considered to be equivalent to ceftriaxone in terms of safety and efficacy. Cefotaxime is marketed under various trade names including Cefotaxime (Sanofi-Aventis).
