Product Introduction
Kiviza 1gm Injection contains Sulbactam Sodium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It is used in combination with other antibiotics to treat serious bacterial infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), sepsis, meningitis, and skin or soft tissue infections. In certain cases, it is also used alone to treat infections caused by the resistant bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii. This medicine is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional, either as an intravenous (IV) infusion or injection. Self-administration of this injection is not recommended.
Uses
Pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections Urinary tract infections (UTIs) Sepsis or bloodstream infections Meningitis Surgical wound infections Infections caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter species
How it works
Kiviza 1gm Injection works by blocking the action of an enzyme called beta-lactamase, which is produced by certain bacteria to resist antibiotics. By inhibiting this enzyme, Kiviza helps antibiotics work better and allows them to kill the bacteria more effectively. It also has direct antibacterial action against certain strains like Acinetobacter baumannii , Bacteroides fragilis , Neisseria gonorrhoeae , and Neisseria meningitidis .
Side Effects
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious: Severe allergic reactions (rashes, itching, difficulty in breathing, fever) Common: Injection site pain (which is usually minimized by diluting with local anesthesia by the physician) Thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein) Diarrhoea
Expert Tips
Kiviza 1gm Injection is used with antibiotics to treat serious bacterial infections. It may be given alone to treat infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii . Common side effects include injection site pain and diarrhea. Do not stop the medication midway unless advised by your doctor. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have allergies to penicillin or related antibiotics.
