How it works
Orcefo SB 1.5gm Injection is an antibiotic that works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Sulbactam, the beta-lactamase inhibitor, helps inactivate the beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. These enzymes prevent the breakdown of cefoperazone, enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.
Side Effects
Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all drugs cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Common side effects of Orcefo SB 1.5gm Injection are: Nausea, vomiting Headache Diarrhea Allergic reactions Anemia Abnormal liver function Injection site reactions
Expert Tips
Wash your hands regularly to maintain good hygiene and help prevent the spread of infection to others. Do not skip doses or stop the medication early, even if you begin to feel better. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed to fully treat the infection and reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
