- Intravenous Administration
Selective bowel decontamination consists of a 2- to 4-day intravenous administration of antibiotics, usually cefotaxime (unless the patient is already receiving antibiotic therapy) and topical application of non-resorbable antibiotics in the oropharyngeal [glosbe.com]
There is no accumulation following administration of 1000 mg intravenously or 500 mg intramuscularly for 10 or 14 days. [bbpharma.sk]
- Severe Pain
Oxycodone Oxycodone is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.[Label] There is also an extended release formulation indicated for chronic moderate to severe pain requiring continuous opioid analgesics for... [drugbank.ca]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
May cause diarrhea (yogurt, boiled milk, or buttermilk may help); GI distress or nausea (small, frequent meals, frequent oral care, chewing gum, or sucking lozenges may help). [web.archive.org]
• Gastrointestinal : Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. What are the other precautions for Cefotaxime? Avoid excess dosage. What are the storage conditions for Cefotaxime? Store it at controlled room temperature (15-30°C). [medindia.net]

Jaundice (yellowing of the whites of the eyes or skin). Changes in kidney function with high doses. Disturbances in the normal numbers of blood cells in the blood. [netdoctor.co.uk]

Musculoskeletal
- Osteoporosis
This effect is increased when you also use certain other medicines, including: antivirals, chemotherapy, injected antibiotics, medicine for bowel disorders, medicine to prevent organ transplant rejection, injectable osteoporosis medication, and some pain [rxlist.com]
- Muscle Weakness
Call your doctor at once if you have: severe stomach pain, diarrhea that is watery or bloody; skin rash, bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness; seizure (black-out or convulsions ); or severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling [emedicinehealth.com]
Neurologic
- Agitation

Microbiology
- Streptococcus Pneumoniae
Molecular characterization of clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae with different susceptibilities to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. [doi.org]
It is now mandatory to test in-vitro susceptibilities of Streptococcus pneumoniae to penicillin G and other beta-lactam agents when meningitis is diagnosed in infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Staphylococcus Aureus
We investigated the effect of sub-MICs of bactericidal antibiotics on the susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated the role of free radicals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Maximum dose: 2 grams Ceftizoxime (Cefizox) Moderate Staphylococcus aureus and Anaerobic Activity Adult: 1 to 2 grams IV every 8 to 12 hours Child: 50 mg/kg/dose IV every 6 to 8 hours Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) Least Staphylococcus and Anaerobic activity [fpnotebook.com]

Pathophysiology
Objectives: Describe the pathophysiology of cefotaxime resistance. Identify the most common adverse events associated with cefotaxime therapy. Outline the mechanism of action of cefotaxime. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
To date, there is no strategy for the prevention of early neonatal sepsis due to ampicillin-resistant E. coli. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This medicine is also given before, during, and after certain types of surgery to prevent infections. Cefotaxime injection belongs to the class of medicines known as cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. [mayoclinic.org]
