Trustcef-S 1gm/0.5gm Injection

Overview of Trustcef-S Injection
Trustcef-S 1gm/0.5gm Injection is a dual-action antibiotic designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by targeting harmful bacteria, preventing their growth, and stopping infections from spreading further.

This injection should only be administered by a healthcare professional. Completing the full course of treatment is essential even if symptoms improve, as stopping early may reduce the effectiveness of the medicine.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or indigestion. In case of any allergic reactions such as rashes, swelling, itching, or difficulty breathing, immediate medical attention is required.

Before use, inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before starting this injection. Alcohol may increase drowsiness, so it is best avoided. Patients should rest adequately, maintain a healthy diet, and stay hydrated. Doctors may recommend laboratory tests to monitor the response to treatment.

Uses

• Treats various bacterial infections

How It Helps
Trustcef-S combines two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone stops bacterial growth, while Sulbactam enhances its effectiveness by reducing bacterial resistance. This combination is effective against infections in the ears, sinuses, throat, lungs, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. While symptoms may improve within a few days, continuing the full treatment is crucial to eliminate bacteria completely and prevent resistance.

Common Reactions
Most side effects are mild and temporary. These may include:

• Changes in white blood cell count

• Low platelet levels

• Skin rashes

• Diarrhea

• Raised liver enzyme levels

• Pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site

Administration
This injection should be given by a healthcare professional. Self-administration is not recommended.

Mechanism of Action
Ceftriaxone works by preventing bacteria from forming protective cell walls, which are essential for their survival. Sulbactam blocks bacterial enzymes that can inactivate Ceftriaxone, enhancing its antibacterial activity.
