Cefactam 1000mg/1000mg Injection

CEFOPERAZONE + SULBACTAM

Cefactam 1000mg/1000mg Injection belongs to the class that combines Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, with Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

It is used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin, and soft tissue infections, and intraabdominal infections. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Cefoperazone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Sulbactam protects Cefoperazone from being degraded by certain bacteria-produced enzymes This dual action ensures a more robust and sustained antibacterial effect.

The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and your overall health.

While generally well-tolerated, common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and injection site reactions Inform your doctor if these effects persist or worsen.

Inform your healthcare provider about any allergies, especially to cephalosporin antibiotics. If you have a history of kidney problems, your doctor may adjust the dosage. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should use it cautiously, and only if needed.

If you miss a dose of this medicine, contact your healthcare provider promptly. They will advise on the best course of action, which may involve taking the missed dose as soon as you remember or adjusting the subsequent doses accordingly. However, do not double the dose to compensate for a missed one.
