Benefits of Cefbactum-Sb 1.5 Injection

In Bacterial infection
Cefbactum-Sb kills the bacteria causing the infection by breaking down their cell walls. You usually start to feel better within a few days, and finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Throat infection
Cefbactum-Sb clears the bacteria behind a sore throat or tonsillitis, so the pain, fever and difficulty swallowing settle.
In Chest infection
Cefbactum-Sb treats bacterial infections of the airways and lungs, relieving the cough, fever and breathlessness as the infection clears.
In Skin infection
Cefbactum-Sb clears bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue, bringing down the redness, swelling and pain.
In Urinary infection
Cefbactum-Sb kills the bacteria causing burning, frequency and lower abdominal pain, with relief usually starting within a day or two of the first dose.
In Ear and throat infection
Cefbactum-Sb treats bacterial infections of the ear, throat and sinuses, relieving the pain and fever they cause.
In Typhoid
Cefbactum-Sb kills the typhoid bacteria in the blood and gut, bringing down the fever and preventing the complications of untreated typhoid.

Warnings and precautions

Finish the whole course even after you feel better. Stopping early lets the strongest bacteria survive, and they are the ones that come back resistant. Stop and seek emergency care for swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or a widespread rash — a penicillin allergy can be serious. Tell every doctor and pharmacist if you have ever reacted to penicillin. Tell your doctor if loose motions become severe or watery, or continue after the course — this needs attention rather than an anti-diarrhoeal. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses. Finish the whole course even after you feel better — stopping early breeds resistant bacteria. Tell your doctor if you have ever had a severe reaction to penicillin; a small proportion of people react to both groups. Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Several medicines in this group are on Schedule H1 precisely because overuse drives antibiotic resistance. Take it only when a doctor has prescribed it for you.

Do not take Cefbactum-Sb if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known penicillin allergy. Not for anyone with a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics.

Interactions with other medicines

May reduce the reliability of the oral contraceptive pill if you have vomiting or loose motions — use additional precautions during the course. Tell your doctor if you take methotrexate or a blood thinner. Antacids, iron and zinc reduce absorption — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner.

How to store Cefbactum-Sb 1.5 Injection

Store as printed on the carton — some injections need refrigeration and must not be frozen. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Cefbactum-Sb 1.5 Injection

  • Space the doses evenly through the day so the level stays steady.
  • Take a probiotic a few hours apart if loose motions trouble you, and drink plenty of fluids.
  • Never use a leftover antibiotic, or someone else's, for a new illness.
  • Space the doses evenly and complete the course.
  • Keep the reconstituted syrup as the pharmacist instructed and discard it after the stated number of days.
