Naxcel - Prescription Required

Naxcel

Available in 1 & 4 gram

NAXCEL® contains the sodium salt of ceftiofur, which is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including β-lactamase-producing strains. Like other cephalosporins, ceftiofur is bactericidal in vitro, resulting from inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
