Distributor inventory | Injection

Treatment of susceptible bacterial infections such as lower/upper respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, gynecological infections, septicemia, and bone & joint infections.

Cefoperazone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefoperazone from enzymatic breakdown and extends activity against beta-lactamase producing organisms.

For intravenous or intramuscular use only. Reconstitute the vial with a suitable sterile diluent and administer as directed by a physician; dose and duration depend on infection severity, organism, and kidney/liver function. Use at regular intervals and complete the prescribed course.

Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, injection site pain/phlebitis, rash, pruritus, headache, dizziness, transient rise in liver enzymes, eosinophilia

Prescription-only antibiotic; use only for bacterial infections. Hypersensitivity reactions may occur (avoid if allergic to cephalosporins; caution with penicillin allergy). Risk of C. difficile–associated diarrhea with prolonged use. Cefoperazone may increase bleeding risk/hypoprothrombinemia—caution in malnutrition, liver disease, prolonged therapy; may need vitamin K monitoring. Dose adjustment/monitoring may be needed in hepatic impairment and combined renal-hepatic dysfunction. Avoid alcohol during and up to 72 hours after therapy due to disulfiram-like reaction reported with cefoperazone. Use with caution in pregnancy/lactation; monitor in neonates/elderly.

Alcohol (disulfiram-like reaction), anticoagulants/antiplatelets (increased bleeding risk, higher INR), aminoglycosides (additive nephrotoxicity/ototoxicity—monitor; do not mix in same IV line), loop diuretics (increased nephrotoxicity risk), probenecid (may increase beta-lactam levels), live bacterial vaccines such as oral typhoid (reduced vaccine efficacy)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from light. After reconstitution, use promptly; if storage is necessary, follow package insert for stability and keep under recommended refrigeration/temperature conditions.
