Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 750mg is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of bacterial infections in animals. The formulation combines the antibacterial activity of Cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin, with Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, enhancing the efficacy against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
Cefotaxime Sodium: Works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to cell lysis and death. It is particularly effective against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Sulbactam: Protects Cefotaxime from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes, allowing it to retain its antibacterial activity.
Indications
This combination is used in animals to treat infections such as:

Indications
This combination is used in animals to treat infections such as:
Respiratory tract infections
Urinary tract infections
Gastrointestinal infections
Skin and soft tissue infections
Bone and joint infections
Post-surgical infections
Dosage and Administration
The dosage and frequency depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the species and weight of the animal.
Administered intramuscularly (IM) or intravenously (IV) under veterinary guidance.
Advantages
Broad-spectrum activity covers a wide range of bacteria.
Effective against beta-lactamase-producing pathogens.
High tissue penetration ensures effective treatment of deep-seated infections.
Precautions
Use under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.
Perform a sensitivity test to confirm bacterial susceptibility.
Avoid in animals with a known allergy to cephalosporins or beta-lactam antibiotics.
Monitor for adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions.
Storage
Store the injection in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Reconstituted solutions should be used immediately or stored as per manufacturer recommendations.
This veterinary combination provides an effective solution for combating complex bacterial infections in animals, ensuring faster recovery and better health outcomes.
