Description
Syceph S-B injection (Ceftriaxone +sulbactam, 1.5g) with water for injection & Lignocaine
- Contains Ceftriaxone 1g & Sulbactam 500mg
- Broad spectrum of activity
- Combined action of bactericidal Ceftriaxone and beta-lactamase inhibitor Sulbactam.
- Beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin derivatives (amoxicillin, ampicillin, doxicicllin) derive their efficacy from the 4-atom amino ring beta lactam moiety.
- Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some resistant bacteria that destroy the beta lactam ring.
- Extended spectrum beta-lactam cephalosporins are also affected by extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL)
- Syceph SB is a unique combination of Ceftriaxone & Sulbactam
- Sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) protects the beta lactam ring of Ceftriaxone
- This allows the antibiotic to work effectively
- Unlike some beta-lactamase inhibitors (clavulanic acid), it has a broader spectrum of activity and does not induce the production of beta-lactamases
- Used in skin & soft tissue infections, cholecystitis, Osteomyelitis, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Chancroid, UTI, Meningitis
