trixamarc 1 gm vial

TRIXAMARC is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of susceptible bacteria and helping eliminate the infection effectively.

It is commonly used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, bones, joints, skin, and soft tissues. TRIXAMARC is also used in hospitals for serious infections such as septicemia and meningitis, as well as for the prevention of postoperative infections.

TRIXAMARC Dosage
