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?

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. This is because your symptoms may have improved but chances are that the infection is still present in your body.

After you have finished all the doses, your doctor may advise you on some tests to make sure your infection has completely cleared up.
Q. Does Sulbactam treat the flu?
No. Sulbactam does not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
