About Taximax 1500 Injection

Taximax 1500 Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Taximax 1500 Injection is a combination of two medicines: Cefotaxime and Sulbactam. Cefotaxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime).

Taximax 1500 Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. The common side effects of Taximax 1500 Injection are pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Taximax 1500 Injection if you are allergic to penicillin, any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Taximax 1500 Injection, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, are on a low-salt diet, have diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Taximax 1500 Injection as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Taximax 1500 Injection is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and elderly people. Taximax 1500 Injection may not interact with alcohol. Taximax 1500 Injection may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Taximax 1500 Injection to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fiber-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fiber-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid alcoholic beverages with Taximax 1500 Injection as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep.  This can make it harder for your body to aid the Taximax 1500 Injection in fighting off infections.
