Cefoperazone Sodium & Sulbactam Sodium for Injection 3000mg
Composition:
This veterinary injection combines two potent antibiotics:
- Cefoperazone Sodium: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic known for its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
- Sulbactam Sodium: A β-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of Cefoperazone by inhibiting bacterial enzymes that degrade β-lactam antibiotics.
Indications:
This injection is used in veterinary medicine to treat severe bacterial infections in animals, including:
- Respiratory tract infections
- Soft tissue and skin infections
- Urinary tract infections
- Intra-abdominal infections
- Septicemia and other systemic infections
Mechanism of Action:
- Cefoperazone Sodium disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death.
- Sulbactam Sodium prevents the destruction of Cefoperazone by binding to β-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, extending the spectrum of activity.
Dosage and Administration:
- Route: Administered intramuscularly (IM) or intravenously (IV).
- Dosage: Typically determined based on the weight and condition of the animal. A veterinary professional should specify the exact dosage.
Key Features:
- Broad-spectrum efficacy against β-lactamase-producing bacteria.
- High potency in treating multi-drug-resistant bacterial infections.
- Effective in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial infections.
Precautions:
- Use under veterinary supervision only.
- Perform a sensitivity test to determine bacterial susceptibility before administration.
- Monitor for allergic reactions or adverse effects in animals.
- Adjust dosage in cases of renal or hepatic impairment.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Reconstitute the injection only as needed and use immediately after preparation to maintain sterility and efficacy.
