Product Introduction
Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection is a combination antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. The combination of Cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin, and Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, enhances the effectiveness of the treatment by preventing bacterial resistance. Sulbactam inhibits the beta-lactamase enzymes that some bacteria produce to resist cephalosporins, allowing Cefotaxime to work more effectively against a wider range of bacteria.
This injection is used for the treatment of severe bacterial infections, including infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, abdominal cavity, and bloodstream. It is also used to treat infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria and for preventing infections during surgeries. The injection is typically administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) by a healthcare professional.

Uses of Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection
In Bacterial Infections
Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection is effective against a variety of bacterial infections, including:
Pneumonia
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Intra-abdominal infections
Bloodstream infections (sepsis)
Gynecological infections
Bone and joint infections
Prevention of infections during surgery
The combination of Cefotaxime and Sulbactam is particularly useful for treating infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria, which may be resistant to other antibiotics.
Side Effects of Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection
Most side effects of Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection are mild and may resolve on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, some individuals may experience more severe side effects. If any of the following side effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider:

Mild allergic reactions (e.g., itching or hives)
Serious side effects may include:
Severe allergic reactions (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat)
Blood disorders (e.g., low white blood cell count, low platelet count)
Severe gastrointestinal issues, such as colitis (inflammation of the colon)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the severe allergic reactions or other symptoms such as swelling, breathing difficulties, or extreme dizziness.
How to Use Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection
Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare provider via intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular (IM) injection. The exact dosage and duration of the treatment will depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's medical condition. Do not attempt to administer this medication on your own. The healthcare provider will determine the appropriate treatment regimen based on individual needs.
How Cefotaxime Sodium and Sulbactam 375mg Injection Works
Cefotaxime Sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that blocks the enzymes produced by certain bacteria that can break down beta-lactam antibiotics like Cefotaxime. This combination makes Cefotaxime more effective against bacteria that would normally be resistant to it. The result is enhanced bactericidal activity, leading to the effective eradication of bacterial infections.
