Cefotaxime + Sulbactam

Uses

Cefotaxime and Sulbactam are used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

How it Works

How Cefotaxime and Sulbactam work Cefotaxime and Sulbactam is a combination of two medicines: Cefotaxime and Sulbactam. Cefotaxime is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefotaxime against bacteria.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Cefotaxime and Sulbactam include pain at the injection site, inflammation at the injection site, hardening at the injection site, tenderness at the injection site, hypersensitivity reactions, gastrointestinal disorders, and decreased white blood cell count (neutrophils).

Expert Advice

You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections, even if they have developed resistance.
Finish the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may cause the infection to return and become harder to treat.
Diarrhea may occur as a side effect. Taking probiotics alongside Cefotaxime + Sulbactam may help mitigate this.
Consult your doctor if you notice bloody stools or develop abdominal cramps.
Take the medication with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach.
