Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (ceftriaxone).

Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj include pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and black/tarry stools. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

Before taking Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics.

Before taking Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases.

Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It makes the drug effective in multiple serious bacterial infections, including infections of the bloodstream (septicemia), bones (osteomyelitis), the heart valves (endocarditis), the membranes protecting the brain (meningitis), acute bacterial otitis media (infection of the middle ear) and the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) and to prevent and treat infections following surgeries.

It is not recommended to take Cetrax-Sb 1.5G Inj if you are allergic to penicillin, any cephalosporin antibiotic, or its contents.
