About ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION

ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION is a medicine given by injection to help treat severe bacterial infections in various parts of the body. It works by shielding partner antibiotics from being broken down by bacteria, allowing the infection to be cleared effectively. This medication is always used in combination with an antibiotic, as it does not kill bacteria on its own but rather makes the antibiotic work much better.

Because this medication is injected directly into a vein or muscle, it is usually taken at regular intervals throughout the day to keep a steady level in your body. While you are receiving this treatment, staying well-hydrated and getting plenty of rest can help support your body's immune system. Eating simple, nutrient-rich foods can also help your digestive system recover during therapy.

Some people may experience mild side effects, such as pain or swelling at the injection site, or mild diarrhoea. If you develop severe watery diarrhoea, a high fever, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Do not ignore these symptoms, as severe diarrhoea can indicate a serious bowel condition that requires prompt medical attention.

Do not take this if you have had a severe allergic reaction to similar antibiotics, such as penicillins or cephalosporins, in the past. Before starting this treatment, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, asthma, or a history of multiple allergies, as your dosing schedule may need to be adjusted. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure whether this medication is safe for you.

This medicine can interact with certain gout medications, which can cause the level of the drug to rise in your body, so always share your full medication list with your healthcare team. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or an older adult, consult your doctor to ensure this treatment is safe for your specific needs, as special precautions or monitoring may be required.

Uses of ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION

A healthcare professional may prescribe ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION to help treat serious bacterial infections alongside other antibiotics. These include:

  • Severe abdominal infections: ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION helps clear deep-seated infections in the stomach or intestines by stopping bacterial defences and allowing co-administered antibiotics to destroy the bacteria.
  • Skin and soft tissue infections: It works to support partner antibiotics in healing deep skin, muscle, and wound infections.
  • Gynecological infections: It helps treat infections of the female reproductive organs by preventing bacteria from resisting the primary antibiotic treatment.
  • Respiratory tract infections: It assists in clearing severe bacterial infections in the lungs, such as severe bacterial pneumonia.

Key Benefits

ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION helps restore the effectiveness of certain antibiotics, allowing them to work better against serious bacterial infections. Key benefits include:

  • Restores antibiotic effectiveness: The primary benefit of ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION is its ability to restore the power of other antibiotics when they would otherwise fail. By neutralising the defence systems that bacteria use to protect themselves, it ensures your main antibiotic treatment can destroy the bacteria successfully.
  • Supports faster recovery: This protection leads to a faster recovery from severe, life-threatening infections, helping to reduce the overall time you need to spend in the hospital.
  • Relieves infection symptoms: It also helps relieve the painful and uncomfortable symptoms of infection, such as fever, swelling, and localised pain, allowing you to start feeling better sooner.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
  • ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION will be administered by the doctor or healthcare professional.
  • Do not self-administer.

How ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION Works

ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION contains sulbactam, some bacteria produce special defence proteins called beta-lactamases, which act like shields by destroying certain antibiotics before they can kill the bacteria, causing the treatment to fail. ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION works as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, acting as a decoy that binds tightly to these bacterial defence proteins and permanently disables them, neutralising these protective shields and allowing the co-administered antibiotic to safely enter the bacteria and destroy them from within.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics: Since antibiotics can disrupt your healthy gut bacteria, taking a probiotic supplement a few hours after your injection can help prevent mild diarrhoea and support gut health.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. This helps your kidneys process and clear the medicine from your bloodstream efficiently.
  • Rest thoroughly: Allow your body to rest as much as possible, which preserves energy and helps your immune system fight off the infection.
  • Eat nutrient-dense foods: Focus on easily digestible, protein-rich, and vitamin-rich meals to support tissue repair and overall recovery during your treatment.
  • Children: The dose is carefully calculated according to the child's age, weight, and type of infection. Always use this medicine exactly as prescribed.
  • Older adults: Older adults, especially those with reduced kidney function, may require dose adjustments and closer monitoring during treatment.

  • Probenecid: This medication can slow down how fast your kidneys remove ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION from your body, which can increase the level of the medicine in your blood and raise the risk of side effects.
  • Aminoglycosides: Mixing these antibiotics in the same IV bag or syringe with ACINOSTOP 1GM INJECTION can make both medications less effective. They should be injected at different times and through separate lines.
  • Warfarin: Antibiotic treatment may alter the effect of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. Your doctor may monitor your blood clotting (INR) more closely during treatment.
  • Hormonal contraceptives: Broad-spectrum antibiotics may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives in some people. Discuss whether you need additional contraceptive protection during treatment.
