Ceftriaxone Sodium & Sulbactam Sodium for Injection 187.5mg
Product Introduction
Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection is a combination antibiotic medication used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. This combination leverages the benefits of Ceftriaxone Sodium, a third-generation cephalosporin, and Sulbactam Sodium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Together, these two components work synergistically to combat bacterial infections that may be resistant to other antibiotics.
Ceftriaxone Sodium works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Sulbactam Sodium helps enhance the effectiveness of Ceftriaxone by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, which are produced by certain bacteria to inactivate cephalosporins and other antibiotics. This combination is particularly effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including those that produce beta-lactamase enzymes.

In Bacterial Infections
Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection is highly effective for treating the following bacterial infections:
Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Bloodstream infections (sepsis)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Intra-abdominal infections
Meningitis
Bone and joint infections
Pelvic infections
This antibiotic combination is effective in treating infections caused by both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, including resistant strains. It is often used in hospital settings for more serious or complicated infections.
Side Effects of Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection
As with any medication, this combination injection can cause side effects. Most of these side effects are mild and temporary, but some may require medical attention. Common side effects include:

Rash
Fever
Indigestion
Serious side effects may include:
Allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), including difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat
Severe gastrointestinal problems such as colitis (inflammation of the colon)
Blood disorders (e.g., low white blood cell count, low platelet count)
Liver enzyme changes or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
If you experience any of these more severe side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
How to Use Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection
Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection is administered by a healthcare provider through intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's response to the medication.
It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Stopping the treatment too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.
How Ceftriaxone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium 187.5mg Injection Works
Ceftriaxone Sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin that works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the rupture of the bacterial cell. Sulbactam Sodium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Ceftriaxone from bacterial enzymes that can destroy the antibiotic. This combination makes Ceftriaxone more effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase, a common mechanism of resistance.
Together, Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam provide enhanced protection against a wider variety of bacteria, especially those that are resistant to other antibiotics.
