Extacef I 250 MG Injection 1 contains ceftriaxone (250 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

• Ceftriaxone acts by inhibiting the formation of the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. Peptidoglycan is the main component in bacterial cell walls that gives them strength and rigidity.

• By blocking peptidoglycan synthesis, ceftriaxone weakens the cell wall, causing the bacterial cell to break open or lyse, leading to the bacteria's death.

• Store Extacef I 250 MG Injection 1 vials at a stable room temperature, below 25°C.

• Ensure the vial is securely sealed to avoid exposure to air and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Make sure you use the product before its expiry date.

• If you're managing a urinary tract infection, increase your fluid intake. This helps flush out the bacteria from your system more effectively.

• For those dealing with respiratory tract infections, avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. This can worsen your symptoms and slow down recovery.
