Medicine Description xoraxon 1g
xoraxon 1g vial is a medication that contains ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Ceftriaxone binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall. This binding inhibits the transpeptidation and carboxypeptidation processes, essential for proper cell wall assembly. The disruption of the cell wall integrity is particularly effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making ceftriaxone a powerful option for treating various infections.
