Xtum 1.5 Gm Injection

Xtum 1.5 gm Injection – Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Serious Infections

Xtum 1.5 gm Injection is a prescription antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It combines Ceftriaxone (1000 mg), a third-generation cephalosporin, with Sulbactam (500 mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This dual-action formulation is effective in overcoming antibiotic resistance and targeting infections in multiple body systems.

✅ Key Medical Uses

Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)

Urinary tract infections (kidneys, bladder)

Skin and soft tissue infections

Bone and joint infections

Abdominal infections

Bloodstream infections (sepsis)

Gynecological and post-surgical infections

This injection is often used in hospitals to manage severe infections and as a preventive measure before certain surgeries.

⚙️ How It Works

Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial death.

Sulbactam blocks enzymes that bacteria produce to resist antibiotics, making ceftriaxone more effective.

Together, they deliver enhanced antibacterial activity, particularly against resistant strains.

💊 Dosage & Administration

Administered by a healthcare professional via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) route.

Dosage varies based on the type and severity of infection.

Always complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve early.

⚠️ Possible Side Effects

Injection site pain or swelling

Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting

Skin rash or mild allergic reactions

Elevated liver enzymes or dizziness

Seek immediate medical attention if you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.

🛡️ Precautions
