Syceph Injection

Description

Syceph Injection (Ceftriaxone 1g) + 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
