Betamp 1.5gm Injection

Betamp 1.5gm Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, upper and lower respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, soft tissue, skin, bone and joint, intra-abdominal and gonococcal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Betamp 1.5gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Betamp 1.5gm Injection contains two antibiotics, Ampicillin (penicillin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ampicillin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam works by blocking beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Betamp 1.5gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, Betamp 1.5gm Injection may cause common side effects such as pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting. Most of these side effects of Betamp 1.5gm Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Ampicillin, Sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Betamp 1.5gm Injection. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, discuss with your doctor about other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while on treatment with Betamp 1.5gm Injection. If you have or have ever had liver disease, especially after using a penicillin antibiotic, inform your doctor before receiving Betamp 1.5gm Injection. 

Betamp 1.5gm Injection is a combination of two antibiotics: Ampicillin and Sulbactam, used to treat several bacterial infections. Betamp 1.5gm Injection has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity that acts against aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Ampicillin interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam blocks beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to ampicillin, sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Betamp 1.5gm Injection. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, discuss with your doctor about other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while on treatment with Betamp 1.5gm Injection. If you have or have ever had liver disease, especially after using a penicillin antibiotic, inform your doctor before receiving Betamp 1.5gm Injection. Betamp 1.5gm Injection may interact with specific tests such as glucose (sugar) in urine and give false positive results. Therefore, inform the doctor that you are on treatment with Betamp 1.5gm Injection before undergoing any tests.
