C-One SB Injection (16x25x1g m) Ceftriaxone 1000 mg, Sulbactam 500 mg Inj by Abbott

What is it used for?
Ceftriaxone with sulbactam is an injectable antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, such as infections of the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin and soft tissues, blood, bones or joints. It does not work against viral infections such as colds or flu.

How does it work?
Ceftriaxone kills bacteria by preventing them from forming their protective cell wall. Sulbactam helps protect ceftriaxone from enzymes produced by some bacteria, improving its activity.

How to take/use it
This injection must be given by a doctor or nurse into a vein or muscle. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of infection and should be decided by the prescriber. Complete the prescribed course unless advised otherwise.

Common side effects
Pain, redness or swelling at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, rash and changes in liver test results may occur.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about any allergy to ceftriaxone, penicillins, cephalosporins or other antibiotics, and about liver, kidney or gallbladder problems. Seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, severe rash or severe or persistent diarrhoea. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only on medical advice.
