Monocef-SB 1g Injection

Product Overview

Monocef-SB 1g Injection is a combination antibiotic used to manage various bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading further.

This injection must be administered by a healthcare professional. It is essential to complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve, as stopping early may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Uses

Treatment of bacterial infections in the ear, sinus, throat, lungs, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues.

Suitable for severe or resistant bacterial infections.

Benefits

Monocef-SB combines Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam:

Ceftriaxone interferes with bacterial cell wall formation, killing bacteria.

Sulbactam enhances the effect of Ceftriaxone and reduces bacterial resistance.

This combination provides effective treatment for bacterial infections, promotes quick relief from symptoms, and reduces the risk of recurrence.
