Common side effects may include hypersensitivity, gastrointestinal disorders, dizziness, stomach pain, increased heartbeat, and difficult or painful urination. If these symptoms persist, consulting your doctor is advisable.
Individuals with a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillin may be at an increased risk of hypersensitivity reactions to Cefotaxime Cross reactivity between cephalosporins and penicillin is possible, and in case of severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, immediate discontinuation of the medication is necessary.
