Cefepime 1gm + Sulbactam 500 mg for injection

Cefepime+sulbactam is a combination of two medications: cefepime and sulbactam. Cefepime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the cephalosporin group, while sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination is used to treat various bacterial infections.

Cefepime works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of their cell walls. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Sulbactam, on the other hand, is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps in overcoming bacterial resistance. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria that can inactivate certain antibiotics, including cephalosporins. Sulbactam inhibits the action of these enzymes, allowing cefepime to exert its antibacterial effects.

The combination of cefepime and sulbactam is commonly used in the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as complicated urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, pneumonia, and skin and soft tissue infections. It is often reserved for infections where the causative organisms are known or suspected to be resistant to other antibiotics.

As with any medication, cefepime+sulbactam can have side effects, including allergic reactions, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by a healthcare professional and report any adverse effects to your doctor.
