Product Introduction
Foxime S Injection is a combination antibiotic containing Cefuroxime (a second-generation cephalosporin) and Sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). This combination works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and blocking beta-lactamase enzymes that confer antibiotic resistance. It is prescribed for serious bacterial infections affecting the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, and soft tissues, as well as post-surgical infections.
Uses
Foxime S Injection is used to treat: Respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis) Urinary tract infections (including complicated cases) Skin and soft tissue infections Intra-abdominal infections Post-surgical infections
How it works
Cefuroxime kills bacteria by disrupting their cell wall, making them unable to survive. Sulbactam protects Cefuroxime from being destroyed by beta-lactamase enzymes, thereby boosting its effectiveness against resistant bacteria. Together, this combination is highly effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria.
Side Effects
Common Pain or swelling at the injection site Fever, chills, headache Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea Rash or itching Serious (seek help immediately): Severe allergic reactions (swelling of the face, throat, difficulty breathing) Severe diarrhoea (bloody or watery stools) Abnormal liver function or jaundice Low blood counts (easy bruising, infections)
