Ceftriaxone and sulbactam for injection is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of severe or resistant bacterial infections. Ceftriaxone kills the bacteria, while sulbactam prevents bacteria from destroying the antibiotic, making it more effective. It is administered in a clinical setting via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection.
Common Uses
The combination is primarily used to treat moderate to severe infections, including:
- Respiratory Tract Infections: Pneumonia and bronchitis.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Complicated or multidrug-resistant UTIs.
- Intra-Abdominal Infections: Peritonitis and biliary tract infections.
- Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Cellulitis, abscesses, and deep wound infections.
- Bloodstream and Brain Infections: Sepsis and bacterial meningitis.
- Bone and Joint Infections: Osteomyelitis.
- Surgical Prophylaxis: Given before surgeries to prevent post-operative infections.
