Amoctam 3gm Injection

Amoctam 3gm Injection belongs to the group of medications called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Amoctam 3gm Injection contains Amoxycillin and Sulbactam. Amoxycillin is a type of antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is required for bacterial survival. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and improves Amoxycillin's antibacterial activity.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Amoctam 3gm Injection are diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. Amoctam 3gm Injection should be used with caution in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and elderly people. It is not known whether Amoctam 3gm Injection interacts with alcohol or if it may affect your ability to drive. So, please discuss with your doctor the possible risks and benefits before consuming alcohol with Amoctam 3gm Injection.

Amoctam 3gm Injection contains Amoxycillin and Sulbactam. Amoxycillin is a penicillin antibiotic and treats the infection by killing the bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase (an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotic) inhibitor and prevents the destruction of Amoxycillin from the bacteria. Amoctam 3gm Injection has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat bacterial infections such as skin infections, gynaecological infections and intra-abdominal infections.

• On prolonged therapy, monitoring renal, hepatic, and hematologic functions periodically is advised. Monitor also for signs of anaphylaxis during the first dose.
