Uses of Zoxi 1gm Injection

Zoxi 1gm Injection is an injectable antibiotic used for moderate to severe bacterial infections, including chest infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, abdominal and gynaecological infections, bone and joint infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. It is also used for blood infections (septicaemia) and some cases of gonorrhoea. It is given into a muscle or vein, usually in hospital or a clinic.

How Zoxi 1gm Injection works

Ceftizoxime is a third-generation cephalosporin. It blocks the enzymes bacteria use to build their cell wall, so the wall weakens and the bacteria burst and die. It is active against many Gram-negative bacteria that resist older antibiotics.
