Description

2SUM 2G INJ is a combination injection that contains Cefoperazone Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium. This formulation is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by utilizing the synergistic effects of both components.
Active Ingredients
Cefoperazone Sodium:
Type: Third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic.
Mechanism of Action: Cefoperazone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It targets the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell wall, preventing the cross-linking of peptidoglycan layers. This disruption leads to the lysis and death of the bacteria.
Spectrum: Effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria.
Sulbactam Sodium:
Type: Beta-lactamase inhibitor.
Mechanism of Action: Sulbactam inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. These enzymes are responsible for breaking down beta-lactam antibiotics like Cefoperazone, rendering them ineffective. By blocking these enzymes, Sulbactam ensures that Cefoperazone remains active against resistant strains.
Clinical Uses
2SUM 2G INJ is prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:
Respiratory Tract Infections: Such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and other infections of the lungs and bronchial tubes.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Including infections of the bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), and kidneys (pyelonephritis).
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Treats infections affecting the skin and underlying soft tissues.
Septicemia: Manages severe, systemic bacterial infections in the bloodstream, which can lead to sepsis.
Administration
Route: Intravenous (IV) injection.
Dosage: The dosage and frequency are determined based on the infection’s severity, type, and patient-specific factors, including kidney function and overall health.
Considerations
Allergic Reactions: Verify patient history for any allergies to cephalosporins or beta-lactam antibiotics before administration.
Renal Impairment: Adjustments to dosage may be necessary for patients with compromised kidney function.
Drug Interactions: Monitor for potential interactions with other medications. Consult drug interaction resources or healthcare providers as needed.
Monitoring: Regularly assess the patient’s response to therapy and adjust treatment as necessary based on clinical response and laboratory results.
2SUM 2G INJ should be administered according to the healthcare provider’s instructions. For any specific concerns or further information, consult with the healthcare team.
