CEPOTENT 1.5 GM INJ.

Product Description:

CEPOTENT 1.5 GM Injection combines Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, with Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination is used to treat serious bacterial infections including pneumonia, septicaemia, peritonitis, and urinary tract infections. It is given in hospital settings by a qualified healthcare professional.

Key Benefits:

• Effective against a broad range of bacteria causing severe infections
• Sulbactam prevents bacterial resistance to Cefoperazone
• Used in complicated infections where single antibiotics may not work
• Covers both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections

How It Works:

Cefoperazone kills bacteria by disrupting the formation of their cell walls, causing them to rupture and die. Sulbactam blocks the enzymes produced by resistant bacteria that would otherwise break down Cefoperazone, making the combination effective even against resistant strains. This dual mechanism ensures broader and more reliable bacterial coverage.

Dosage & Administration:

• Always use as prescribed by your doctor ? dose depends on the severity and type of infection
• Complete the full antibiotic course ? stopping early may allow infection to return
• Given by intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular (IM) injection by a trained medical professional

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to cephalosporin or penicillin antibiotics
• Use carefully in patients with liver disease as Cefoperazone is excreted through bile
• Avoid alcohol during and for several days after treatment as it may cause an adverse reaction
