How To Use Expert Advice Primary Uses Indications Cefotaxime injection treats bacterial infections such as pneumonia and other infections lower respiratory tract (lung); gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted infection); meningitis (infectious disease of the membranes surrounding the  spinal cord and brain) as well as other infections of brain and spinal cord; and infections of the abdomen (stomach), female reproductive organs, blood, skin,  joint, bone and urinary tract. Cefotaxime injections can also be given prior to surgery, as well as during and after a caesarean section, to keep the patient from becoming infected. Side Effects Warnings Pregnancy Only use if absolutely necessary and the advantage exceeds the danger to the fetus. Pregnant women should seek medical advice before taking this medicine. Lactation Cefotaxime could be used safely while nursing. Minimal amounts of it are found in breast milk. As a result, it must only be taken when the benefit outweighs the risk of danger to the baby. Driving There is no indication that Cefotaxime affects one’s driving ability. When you have poor kidney function, excessive dosages of Cefotaxime can cause encephalopathy, a brain condition characterized by disorientation, loss of consciousness, strange motions, and seizures. If you experience any of these problems, you should avoid driving. Contraindications Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Cefotaxime, or other cephalosporin antibiotics should not take Cefotaxime.
