Ceftrum-S 1.5gm

Description

A. Salt Composition:

• Ceftriaxone 1.5 gm
• Sulbactam 1.5 gm per vial.

B. Product Introduction:

• Ceftrum-S 1.5gm is a combination of Ceftriaxone, a broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, and Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Sulbactam helps prevent bacteria from inactivating Ceftriaxone, enhancing the effectiveness of the antibiotic. This combination is used for treating infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing organisms that would normally resist the action of Ceftriaxone alone.

• Severe Infections: Used for treating severe infections like pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis.
• Abdominal Infections: Effective against infections like peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): For complicated UTIs caused by resistant bacteria.
• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Treats serious skin infections.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Effective for osteomyelitis and joint infections.
• Respiratory Infections: Used for severe respiratory infections.

D. Side Effects of Ceftrum-S 1.5gm Injection:

• Common Side Effects:
  • Pain and swelling at the injection site
  • Fever
  • Rash
  • Diarrhea
• Serious Side Effects:
  • Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
  • Liver dysfunction (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
  • Blood disorders (low white blood cell or platelet count)
  • Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
  • Seizures (in rare cases, especially with high doses)

As with all antibiotics, proper administration by a healthcare professional is essential to avoid complications. Ensure the patient is monitored for any adverse reactions.
