Cefboss-S | Ceftriaxone & Sulbactam Injection 1.5gm

Description

Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftriaxone against bacteria.  Sulbactam, on the other hand, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of ceftriaxone by protecting it from being broken down by bacterial enzymes called beta-lactamases. Beta-lactamases are produced by some bacteria to break down antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, and carbapenems, rendering them ineffective. By inhibiting beta-lactamases, sulbactam helps to maintain the activity of ceftriaxone, which is able to effectively kill the bacteria. This combination of drugs is particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria, which can cause serious infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. Some common indications for the use of ceftriaxone and sulbactam include: Lower respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, Urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria, Skin and soft tissue infections, such as cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections, Intra-abdominal infections, including peritonitis and cholecystitis, Septicemia and bacteremia, which are potentially life-threatening infections caused by bacteria in the bloodstream, Bone and joint infections, such as osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, Meningitis, an infection of the brain and spinal cord membranes, and Prophylaxis of infections in surgical procedures. It is commonly used in hospitals and clinical settings to treat infections that are resistant to other antibiotics. Ceftriaxone and sulbactam are given by injection, and the dosage will depend on the type of infection being treated, the patient’s age and weight, and other factors. As with all medications, ceftriaxone and sulbactam can cause side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, and allergic reactions, although not everyone who uses the drug will experience them. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to report any side effects or concerns.
