Product introduction

Sulbamax-Forte Injection is a type of antibiotic belonging to a class known as beta-lactamase inhibitors. This medicine helps to make the bacteria more sensitive to antibiotic activity. It is given by drip (intravenous infusion) or by direct injection into a vein, under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It should be used regularly at evenly spaced intervals, as per the schedule prescribed by your doctor.

Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening. The total duration of treatment and precise dosage will be decided by your doctor, depending on the type of infection that you have and how well you respond to the medication.

Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of an allergic reaction to this medicine or penicillin group of medicines. Diarrhea and local pain, swelling, or redness at the site of injection may be seen as side effects in some patients. These are temporary and usually resolve quickly. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist or if your condition worsens. This medicine is generally regarded as safe to use during pregnancy if used under a doctor’s supervision.

How Sulbamax Injection works

Sulbamax-Forte Injection is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme called beta lactamase produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Sulbamax-Forte Injection is frequently combined with beta-lactam antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cefoperazone, meropenem. As a single medicine, it treats infection caused by a type of bacterium called Acinetobacter baumanii. This activity is mediated by its interaction with certain proteins.

Quick tips

  • Sulbamax-Forte Injection is used in treatment of severe bacterial infections, in combination with certain antibiotics. 
  • It is also used alone in the treatment of serious infections caused by pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii including those resistant to other antibiotics.
  • It is preferentially given as an injection directly into a vein over a period of 15-60 minutes.
  • When used alone, it is associated with few adverse effects, mainly pain at the injection site and diarrhea.
