Description
Summary:Cefotaxime sodium is an antibiotic used to treat severe infections such as in intensive care units (ICUs). The recommended dose of cefotaxime sodium can vary from 3 grams (g) to 24 g per day and publications have demonstrated that continuous administration of cefotaxime sodium is the preferred mode of administration. In ICUs, a minimum volume is used for patients requiring fluid restriction, leading to high concentrations of cefotaxime sodium.
