How it works
Oriaxon SB 1.5gm Injection is a combination of ceftriaxone and sulbactam, effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Ceftriaxone, an antibiotic, works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial protective covering crucial for bacterial survival. Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, reduces resistance and enhances ceftriaxone's effectiveness against bacteria.
Side Effects

Serious: Severe allergic reactions (rashes, itching, difficulty in breathing, fever) Common: Irregularities in your white blood cell count and platelet count Loose stools or diarrhoea Alterations in liver function blood test Injection site pain Thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein) Injection site pain
Expert Tips
This medicine is recommended only for children aged 1 year or older. It is used to treat bacterial infections, even those caused by resistant bacteria. Complete the full course of treatment, even if you start feeling better, to avoid the risk of the infection coming back stronger. Do not stop the medication early, as stopping too soon can cause bacteria to become resistant to the treatment. Diarrhoea may occur as a side effect. To reduce this, consider taking probiotics like yoghurt, fermented foods, or supplements. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience: Bloody stools Severe stomach cramps Take this medication with food and drink plenty of fluids to help prevent stomach upset. Stop the medicine and seek urgent medical help if you have: Itchy rash Swelling of the face, throat, or tongue Difficulty breathing
