Cefocan-S | Cefoperazone & Sulbactam Injection 1.5gm

Description

Cefoperazone and sulbactam is a combination antibiotic medication that works by killing or inhibiting the growth of susceptible bacteria. Cefoperazone is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by disrupting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, while sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of cefoperazone by inhibiting beta-lactamases, which are enzymes produced by some bacteria that break down antibiotics such as cephalosporins. The combination of cefoperazone and sulbactam is primarily used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Some common uses of this drug include lower respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and bone and joint infections. The drug is particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria, which are often resistant to other types of antibiotics. The benefits of cefoperazone and sulbactam include their broad-spectrum activity against many different types of bacteria, their effectiveness against gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics, and their ability to treat serious infections in hospital settings. The dosage and duration of treatment with cefoperazone and sulbactam will depend on the type and severity of the infection being treated, as well as the patient’s age and weight. The drug is administered by injection, typically in a hospital or clinical setting. Some potential side effects of cefoperazone and sulbactam include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and allergic reactions. It is important to inform a healthcare provider if any side effects are experienced. Precautions should be taken when using this drug in patients with a history of allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics or any other beta-lactam antibiotics, as well as patients with liver or kidney disease. It is important to use this drug only for bacterial infections as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to complete the full course of treatment to ensure that the infection is fully treated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
