Frequently asked questions FOR Cefosil
Cefoperazone
Q. Is Cefoperazone effective?
Cefoperazone is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Cefoperazone too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. Is Cefoperazone bactericidal or bacteriostatic?
Cefoperazone is primarily bactericidal(one which kills the causative organisms) but it may be bacteriostatic (one which slows down the growth of bacteria) also. Its activity depends on the organism, tissue penetration, dosage, and rate of organism multiplication.
Q. How does Cefoperazone act?
Cefoperazone acts by adhering to the proteins synthesized by the bacteria, thereby inhibiting the organisms to develop their protective covering known as cell wall. This kills the bacteria.
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.
