CLAFORAN (cefotaxime sodium) is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic administered by injection for treating serious bacterial infections including septicemia, meningitis, and other gram-positive and gram-negative infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, bactericidally eliminating susceptible pathogens. This injectable antibiotic has been a cornerstone therapy for acute care settings since approval.
