FAQs

Monomac 250 mg/125 mg Injection is used to treat bacterial infections.

Monomac 250 mg/125 mg Injection 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 Monomac 250 mg/125 mg Injection are pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and black/tarry stools.
