Ceftrum-S 375mg

Description

A. Salt Composition:

• Ceftriaxone 375 mg
• Sulbactam 375 mg per vial.

B. Product Introduction:

• Ceftrum-S 375mg is a combination of Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam, similar to the 1.5 gm version but with a lower dose of the active ingredients. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, while Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination is effective against infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria that would normally resist Ceftriaxone alone.

• Severe Infections: Treats serious bacterial infections such as pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis.
• Abdominal Infections: Used for infections like peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses.
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTI): Helps treat complicated UTIs.
• Skin Infections: Effective for skin infections caused by resistant bacteria.
• Bone and Joint Infections: Treats osteomyelitis and joint infections.
• Respiratory Tract Infections: Used for severe respiratory infections, including pneumonia and bronchitis.
