Powered by Ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum 3rd generation cephalosporin, it enters the bloodstream instantly to disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis, destroying resistant pathogens in emergency ward and surgical settings.
How to Use / Operate
Must be reconstituted with sterile water for injection or lidocaine (for IM use only) and administered by a qualified doctor or nurse via IV infusion or deep IM injection according to hospital clinical protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions

Important Clinical Considerations
