Frequently asked questions FOR 3A Sul
Cefotaxime
Q. Is Cefotaxime the same as penicillin?
No, Cefotaxime is not the same as penicillin. Cefotaxime belongs to the third generation class of cephalosporins. Cefotaxime is active against numerous gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including several with resistance to other antibiotics such as penicillin.
Q. What kind of infections does Cefotaxime treat?
Cefotaxime is an antibiotic used to treat conditions such as lower respiratory tract infections (related to the lungs, windpipe and airways), skin and skin structure infections, urinary tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, bacterial septicemia, bone and joint infections, and meningitis (brain related).
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Cefotaxime?
If you have missed a dose of Cefotaxime, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take it in the regular schedule instead of taking the missed dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Sulbactam
Q. Why is Sulbactam added to other antibiotics?
Sulbactam added to other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., because Sulbactam contains Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., against the bacteria.
Q. Who should not take Sulbactam?
Sulbactam should not be taken by an individual if he/she had an allergic reaction to ampicillin, sulbactam, or any penicillin antibiotic (such as penicillins or cephalosporins), or if he/she has a history of liver problems caused by ampicillin/sulbactam.
Q. What should I discuss with my doctor before receiving Sulbactam?
Before taking Sulbactam, you should tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Sulbactam or any similar medicine. Inform the doctor if you have any type of allergy, asthma or breathing problems, heart disease or kidney disease. Let your doctor know about all the medicines that you may be taking as they may affect or be affected by Sulbactam. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also seek their doctor’s advice before taking Sulbactam.
