Product Introduction
Elores 1.5gm Injection contains Ceftriaxone, Disodium edetate, and Sulbactam as active ingredients. This combination antibiotic is used to treat serious bacterial infections, including those of the respiratory, urinary, and soft tissues. The combination is also indicated for intra-abdominal infections, sepsis, and infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Ceftriaxone works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Sulbactam protects Ceftriaxone from beta-lactamase enzymes that would normally degrade it. Disodium edetate enhances the activity of Ceftriaxone by stabilising the antibiotic, making it more effective against resistant bacterial strains. Elores 1.5gm Injection is typically prescribed to adult patients with severe bacterial infections. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. The medication is administered via injection by a healthcare professional, ensuring proper dosage and monitoring throughout the treatment course. Do not use Elores 1.5gm Injection if you are allergic to Ceftriaxone, Sulbactam, Disodium edetate, or any other ingredients of the product. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney problems, gastrointestinal issues, or blood disorders. Special caution is required when treating neonates or patients with high bilirubin levels due to the potential risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.
Uses

How it works
The Elores 1.5gm Injection works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls via Ceftriaxone, while Sulbactam prevents the breakdown of Ceftriaxone by beta-lactamase enzymes. Disodium edetate enhances the antibiotic's effectiveness by binding to metal ions, which helps stabilise and increase its potency.
How to Use
The Elores 1.5gm Injection is given either intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). The dosage is adjusted by healthcare providers based on the type and severity of the infection, as well as individual patient factors. The medication is reconstituted with an appropriate diluent, and the IV infusion is administered over 30 minutes to 1 hour to minimise irritation.
