Cefotaxime acid is primarily used as a broad-spectrum antibiotic to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it suitable for treating respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and septicemia. It is also commonly used in the management of meningitis, particularly in pediatric and neonatal cases, due to its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. In surgical settings, it is often administered as a prophylactic measure to prevent postoperative infections. Additionally, cefotaxime acid is utilized in the treatment of gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections caused by susceptible organisms. Its stability against beta-lactamase enzymes enhances its efficacy in combating resistant bacterial strains.
