Q. Can I use a discolored solution of Sulbactam?
No. You should not use Sulbactam if the medicine has changed colors or has particles in it. The discolored solution may be contaminated and may not be as effective as it is expected to be. Also, it may cause additional side effects. So, it is better, that you discard the solution and go for another vial.
Q. I feel better now. Can I stop taking Sulbactam?
No. Make sure to receive all doses your doctor has prescribed, even if you feel better.

After you have finished all the doses, your doctor may advise you on some tests to make sure your infection has completely cleared up.

No. Sulbactam does not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
