Product Description
Cefoperazone + sulbactam 1.5 gm injection is a combination antibiotic medication containing two active ingredients:
- Cefoperazone: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. It is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria.
- Sulbactam: A beta-lactamase inhibitor. Many bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases, which can inactivate certain antibiotics like cefoperazone, making them ineffective. Sulbactam blocks these enzymes, protecting cefoperazone and enhancing its activity against resistant bacteria.
The "1.5 gm" refers to the total weight of the active ingredients in the vial, typically consisting of 1 gram of cefoperazone and 0.5 grams of sulbactam. The ratio might sometimes be different (e.g., 1:1).
Uses:
This combination injection is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Intra-abdominal infections (e.g., peritonitis, cholecystitis)
- Skin and soft tissue infections

- Bloodstream infections (septicemia)
