Zeftabac Injection 1's

Zeftabac Injection 1's belongs to a class of medicines called antibiotics used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract and abdomen. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood.

Zeftabac Injection 1's contains Ceftazidime and Avibactam. Ceftazidime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Avibactam decreases bacterial resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftazidime against the bacteria. Together, Zeftabac Injection 1's helps to treat bacterial infections.

In some cases, you may experience redness and swelling at the site of injection, and/or nausea and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Zeftabac Injection 1's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Zeftabac Injection 1's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Zeftabac Injection 1's. Drive only if you are alert as Zeftabac Injection 1's may cause dizziness. Zeftabac Injection 1's should be used with caution in those with renal impairment and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea.

Zeftabac Injection 1's contains Ceftazidime and Avibactam; they act against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, and abdomen. Ceftazidime inhibits enzymes that regulate the formation of the bacterial cell wall, thereby arresting bacterial development. Avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme that inactivates antibiotics and builds up a drug resistance. By inhibiting beta-lactamase, avibactam makes the bacteria more susceptible to antibiotic action. Zeftabac Injection 1's damages the bacterial cell wall, kills bacteria and makes the bacteria more sensitive to the action of the antibiotic. Hence Zeftabac Injection 1's finds widespread use in treating complicated bacterial infections.

• PROBENECID
• CHLORAMPHENICOL
• TOBRAMYCIN
• GENTAMICIN
• FUROSEMIDE

• Regular kidney function tests are recommended, especially in patients with kidney problems while taking Zeftabac Injection 1's so that the dose may be adjusted accordingly.
• If you are about to undergo any blood or urine tests, inform your doctor that you are taking Zeftabac Injection 1's as it may interfere with these tests.
• Zeftabac Injection 1's may interact with certain tests such as glucose (sugar) in urine and coomb’s test (blood test), resulting in unusual results. Therefore, inform the lab technician that you are taking Zeftabac Injection 1's before undergoing any tests.

• Take probiotics after completing the full course of Zeftabac Injection 1's 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 cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
• Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet.
• Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Zeftabac Injection 1's.
• Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
