Xone XP Injection 1.125gm is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic used to treat infections of the skin, soft tissue, respiratory tract , urinary tract, ear, nose, and throat caused by bacteria. However, the uses mentioned here are not exhaustive. There may be other conditions for which this medication may be used upon a doctor’s discretion.
The active ingredients of Xone XP Injection 1.125gm are Ceftriaxone 1gm and Tazobactam 125mg.
Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which primarily acts on the enzymes (of the bacteria) that help in cell wall synthesis and cell-division. Thus ceftriaxone results in producing defective cells of the bacteria, distrubs the cell-wall synthesis and eventually leads to cell death.
Tazobactam shows slight bactericidal activity against itself. Therefore, it is used along with other antibiotics. Tazobactam targets the organism that exhibits the beta-lactams and then degrades/inhibits them by collapsing the cell wall synthesis; thus leading to cell death.
