Lactagard 1.5Gm 1*1Vial

Lactagard 1.5Gm is an injectable antibiotic formulation that contains Cefoperazone and Sulbactam. Cefoperazone is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the destruction of bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the effectiveness of Cefoperazone by preventing bacterial resistance mechanisms, making it active against resistant strains of bacteria.

Uses
Lactagard 1.5Gm is primarily used to treat various severe bacterial infections, including:

Respiratory tract infections

Urinary tract infections (both upper and lower)

Skin and soft tissue infections

Bone and joint infections

Septicemia (bloodstream infections)

Meningitis (brain and spinal cord infections)

Intra-abdominal infections

Gonorrhea and other genital tract infections

How it works
The combination works synergistically to kill bacteria by disrupting their cell wall production and overcoming resistance mechanisms. It is generally administered under medical supervision by healthcare professionals.

Additional Information
Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions, and abnormal liver function tests. It should be used cautiously in patients with kidney or liver issues, and pregnancy or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use.​

This medication is typically prescribed for short-term treatment of serious bacterial infections and requires proper medical guidance for safe and effective use.
