Composition:-
Cefepime 1gm + Sulbactam 500mg Injection
Uses:-
Cefepime 1gm + Sulbactam 500mg Injection is a combination medication used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. Cefepime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin class, while Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of Cefepime against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Together, they work by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and preventing the bacteria from producing enzymes that can destroy antibiotics. This combination is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics. Cefepime + Sulbactam Injection is commonly used to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and septicemia. It is usually administered intravenously by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting.
Side Effects:-
While Cefepime + Sulbactam Injection is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, rash, and injection site reactions such as pain or inflammation. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, in some cases, Cefepime + Sulbactam Injection may cause more serious side effects such as allergic reactions (including rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing), severe diarrhea (with or without blood), liver problems, kidney problems, or changes in blood cell counts. Patients should seek medical attention if they experience any unusual or severe symptoms while receiving treatment with Cefepime + Sulbactam Injection.
Indication:-
Cefepime 1gm + Sulbactam 500mg Injection is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is commonly prescribed by healthcare providers to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and septicemia. This combination is particularly useful in patients with infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics or in cases where broad-spectrum coverage is required. The dosage and duration of treatment with Cefepime + Sulbactam Injection will vary depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and medical history. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen carefully and to complete the full course of treatment as directed by a healthcare provider to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
