Description

Detailed Overview
2SUM 1G INJ is a combination antibiotic injection that includes two active ingredients: Cefoperazone and Sulbactam. This formulation is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the antibiotic treatment by overcoming bacterial resistance mechanisms.
Cefoperazone: This component is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Cefoperazone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is crucial for bacterial growth and survival. By disrupting the cell wall, Cefoperazone effectively kills a broad spectrum of bacteria.
Sulbactam: This is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Sulbactam’s role is to protect Cefoperazone from being broken down by beta-lactamase enzymes. These enzymes are produced by certain bacteria to counteract the effects of beta-lactam antibiotics like Cefoperazone. By inhibiting these enzymes, Sulbactam helps ensure that Cefoperazone remains effective against bacteria that might otherwise be resistant.

Clinical Uses
2SUM 1G INJ is utilized to treat a range of bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory Tract Infections: Effective for infections of the lungs and bronchial tubes, such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Treats infections of the bladder, urethra, and kidneys.
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Addresses infections of the skin, muscles, and connective tissues.
Septicemia: Used in the management of severe, widespread bacterial infections in the bloodstream.

Administration
Route of Administration: Intravenous (IV) injection.
Dosage: The specific dosage and frequency depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s overall health and response to treatment.

Considerations
Allergies: Assess for any known allergies to cephalosporins or beta-lactam antibiotics before administration.
Renal Function: Monitor renal function as dose adjustments may be needed in patients with impaired kidney function.
Drug Interactions: Be aware of potential interactions with other medications, and consult relevant drug interaction resources or healthcare providers as necessary.
Always follow the healthcare provider’s instructions for dosage and administration, and consult with them for any specific concerns or additional information.
