Product Introduction

Elores 3gm Injection contains Ceftriaxone, Disodium edetate, and Sulbactam as its active ingredients. This combination antibiotic is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and soft tissues. The combination is also effective in treating intra-abdominal infections, sepsis, and infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, whilst Sulbactam protects Ceftriaxone from degradation by beta-lactamase enzymes. Disodium edetate stabilises the antibiotic, enhancing activity of Ceftriaxone against resistant bacterial strains. Elores 3gm Injection is prescribed to adult patients with severe bacterial infections. Adherence to the prescribed dosage and administration instructions is essential. The medication is administered via injection by a healthcare professional, with proper dosage monitoring throughout the treatment course. Do not use Elores 3gm Injection if allergic to Ceftriaxone, Sulbactam, Disodium edetate, or any other product ingredient. Before initiating treatment, inform your doctor of any history of kidney problems, gastrointestinal disorders, or blood disorders. Special caution is required when treating neonates or patients with elevated bilirubin levels due to the risk of bilirubin encephalopathy.

Uses

How it works

The Elores 3gm 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 3gm 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.
