SAFEXTUM-T INJ

Safextum-T Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination used to treat severe bacterial infections affecting the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, bones, and joints. It is especially effective in hospital-acquired and complicated infections that do not respond to standard antibiotics.

Composition

• Cefuroxime 1000 mg

• Tazobactam 125 mg

Uses

• Respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis

• Urinary tract and kidney infections

• Abdominal and pelvic infections

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Bone and joint infections

• Post-surgical and hospital-acquired infections

How It Works

Safextum-T Injection contains Cefuroxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic that destroys bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial death. Tazobactam enhances the effectiveness of Cefuroxime by inhibiting enzymes (beta-lactamases) that bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. Together, they provide strong protection against resistant bacterial strains.

Dosage and Administration

Safextum-T Injection is administered by a healthcare professional through intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) route. The exact dose and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection. Do not self-administer this injection.

Common Side Effects

• Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site

• Nausea or vomiting

• Diarrhea

• Headache or dizziness

• Skin rash or mild allergic reaction

• Temporary changes in liver or kidney function tests

Precautions and Warnings

Avoid use if allergic to Cefuroxime, Tazobactam, or other beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, or a history of allergy. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under medical advice. Complete the full course to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Reconstituted solution should be used immediately or within the time advised by the healthcare provider. Keep out of reach of children.

Missed Dose

Since it is given under medical supervision, missing a dose is unlikely. If missed, contact your doctor or nurse immediately.

Overdose

Overdose is rare as the injection is administered by medical professionals. However, if it occurs, supportive treatment will be provided to manage symptoms.
