Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection

Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, upper and lower respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, soft tissue, skin, bone and joint, intra-abdominal and gonococcal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection contains two antibiotics, Ampicillin (penicillin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ampicillin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam works by blocking beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection is a combination of two antibiotics: Ampicillin and Sulbactam, used to treat several bacterial infections. Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity that acts against aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Ampicillin interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam blocks beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to ampicillin, sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Sulbact 250 mg/125 mg Injection. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
