About Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection
Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection 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.
Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection 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).
Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection 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 Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Before taking Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases. Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the elderly. Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection may not interact with alcohol.

Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection contains Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone reduces the infection by inhibiting bacterial growth. It disrupts the formation of the cell wall (outer layer), which is essential for bacteria's survival. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase, an enzyme bacteria produce to destroy antibiotics. Sulbactam enhances the activity of ceftriaxone.
Common side effects of Vetaceph Plus 4.5 gm Injection are 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 any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
