MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM

MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM belongs to the class 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.

MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (ceftriaxone).

MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM include pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and black/tarry stools. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM if you are allergic to penicillin or any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Before taking MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases. MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the elderly. MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM may not interact with alcohol. MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM contains Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic, whereas Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It makes the drug effective in multiple serious bacterial infections, including infections of the bloodstream (septicemia), bones (osteomyelitis), the heart valves (endocarditis), the membranes protecting the brain (meningitis), acute bacterial otitis media (infection of the middle ear) and the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) and to prevent and treat infections following surgeries.

MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy. Alterations in prothrombin time (a test used to check for bleeding problems) have been reported in patients receiving this medicine. Antibiotic therapy will cause an imbalance in the normal microbial flora of the large intestine, which may promote the growth of a bacteria called Clostridium difficile, and you may experience severe diarrhoea.

• MEZLOCILLIN
• AZLOCILLIN

• STREPTOMYCIN

• PROBENECID

• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin or other antibiotics.
• Take it with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach.

• Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
• Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages with MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep.  This can make it harder for your body to aid the MONOBACT INJECTION 1.5GM in fighting off infections.
