About Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's

Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's belongs to the group of antibiotics called 'penicillin' used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a 'broad-spectrum antibiotic' that treats various bacterial infections of the middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, joint and bone infections, and post-operative infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to 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.

Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's contains two penicillin antibiotics namely: Ampicillin and Sulbactam. Ampicillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal). Sulbactam inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of ampicillin. As a result, the action of sulbactam allows ampicillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's does not work against infections caused by viruses including colds and flu.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and skin rash. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's on your own as, self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Avoid taking Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a doctor. If prescribed by your doctor Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's is safe well-tolerated among adults, children, pregnant, and breastfeeding women.

Medicinal Benefits

Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's is a combination of two medicines: Ampicillin and Sulbactam. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that covers a very wide range of bacterial infections. Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic and shows bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity. It works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections. Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's has the advantage of having Sulbactam which protects Ampicillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme increasing its efficacy. Besides this, it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria caused by the enzyme which destroys ampicillin (beta-lactamase). This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like skin and soft tissue infections (bacterial infections), urinary tract infections, female genital infections (gonorrhoea), ear infections, respiratory tract infections, infections of the nose, sinuses, and throat, and postoperative infections. After oral administration, Sultapro Kid Tablet 10's is hydrolyzed in the intestine and increases the absorption in the bloodstream as ampicillin and sulbactam and decreases the chances of diarrhea and dysentery.
