FAQs

Xone Sb Inj 500Mg is used to treat bacterial infections. It contains Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone reduces the infection by inhibiting bacterial growth. It disrupts the formation of the cell wall (outer layer), which is essential for bacteria's survival. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase, an enzyme bacteria produce to destroy antibiotics. Sulbactam enhances the activity of ceftriaxone.
Common side effects of Xone Sb Inj 500Mg are 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 any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
Xone Sb Inj 500Mg should be avoided in conditions like gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, seizure disorders, bleeding disorders, antibiotic resistance and bleeding disorders.
Do not stop taking Xone Sb Inj 500Mg suddenly because your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
People allergic to penicillin should not take Xone Sb Inj 500Mg as they may develop cross-sensitivity (sensitivity to drugs with similar structures). Xone Sb Inj 500Mg contains ceftriaxone, which has a similar structure to that of penicillin.

About Xone Sb Inj 500Mg

Xone Sb Inj 500Mg 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.

Xone Sb Inj 500Mg 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).

Xone Sb Inj 500Mg will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of Xone Sb Inj 500Mg 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 Xone Sb Inj 500Mg if you are allergic to penicillin or any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Xone Sb Inj 500Mg, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Xone Sb Inj 500Mg as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Before taking Xone Sb Inj 500Mg, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases. Xone Sb Inj 500Mg is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the elderly. Xone Sb Inj 500Mg may not interact with alcohol. Xone Sb Inj 500Mg may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

Special Advise

  • 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.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Xone Sb Inj 500Mg 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 Xone Sb Inj 500Mg as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep.  This can make it harder for your body to aid the Xone Sb Inj 500Mg in fighting off infections.
