About SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM

SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM 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. SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM does not work against infections caused by the virus.

SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM 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.

SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM may cause common side effects such as pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Ampicillin, Sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are receiving SULBACIN INJECTION 1.5GM.
