Cefoxitin for Injection, USP is a broad-spectrum second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, making it effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including anaerobic organisms.

Benefits

Broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria

Useful in surgical prophylaxis to prevent postoperative infections
Bactericidal action (kills bacteria rather than inhibiting their growth)
Can be used in certain patients allergic to penicillin (with caution)
Stable in the presence of beta-lactamase–producing organisms

Dosage

Dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection, patient’s age, weight, and kidney function
Typical adult dose: 1 to 2 grams every 6 to 8 hours intravenously or intramuscularly
For surgical prophylaxis: 2 grams administered 30 to 60 minutes before incision
Dose adjustments may be needed in patients with renal impairment
Always follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor or healthcare provider

Will the pills or packaging be different when I order from YouDrugstore?
If you usually take a brand name pill and have instead ordered a generic drug, your pills may look different. Although they may look different, generic versions of a drug have the same active ingredients and work in exactly the same way as the brand-name medication. The appearance of medication or packaging may also differ from country to country, even though the strength is the same. For example, Celexa 20MG is usually a peach-colored pill, but in Canada it is white and slightly smaller, even though the same company manufactures both pills. Two different brands of generic medication may also look different because they are made by different manufacturers, although they are equivalent in every other way.
How does medication from Canada differ from medication in other regions of the world?
Canada has high standards and regulations governing the manufacturing of medication and health products and the licensing of doctors and pharmacists. Despite some possible cosmetic differences, medication from Canada is the same quality and strength as medication from other areas like the United States.
Why are prices on YouDrugstore different from prices at other pharmacies?
Unlike some regions of the world, Canadian medication prices are regulated with limits on how much patients have to pay for their prescriptions. This means that Canadian drug costs are often lower than other regions.
