Description

Cefazolin Injection 1G is a sterile, injectable antibiotic medication available in packs of 25 vials, each containing 10 milliliters of solution. This formulation is specifically designed for intravenous or intramuscular administration, providing a potent treatment option primarily used to combat bacterial infections. Cefazolin belongs to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics, renowned for their broad-spectrum activity against a variety of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria.

The active ingredient in Cefazolin, cefazolin sodium, works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby disrupting the growth and replication of susceptible bacteria. This mechanism of action makes it particularly effective against infections caused by organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, and certain strains of Escherichia coli. Clinically, Cefazolin is indicated for treating infections in various systems, including respiratory, urinary, skin, and soft tissue infections, as well as prophylaxis in surgical procedures to prevent postoperative infections.

Administration of Cefazolin is typically guided by healthcare professionals based on the severity of the infection, the specific bacterial strain involved, and the patient's medical history. Dosage and duration of treatment may vary, with adjustments made for renal function to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes.
