How Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 Works?

Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 contains two active ingredients:

Ceftriaxone (250 mg): As a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, ceftriaxone works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls. It attaches itself to specific proteins within the bacterial cell wall and disrupts the process of peptidoglycan synthesis – an essential step in cell wall creation. This disruption leads to cell lysis or breakdown, resulting in bacterial death.
Sulbactam (125 mg): It is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that nullifies the effect of beta-lactamase enzymes produced by some bacteria. These enzymes can degrade antibiotics like ceftriaxone, making them ineffective. By binding with these enzymes and inhibiting their action, sulbactam protects ceftriaxone from degradation. This extends ceftriaxone's effectiveness in containing bacteria that produce beta-lactamase and would otherwise be resistant.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

The contents of this injection are likely to get excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when this injection is administered to a nursing woman.

Alcohol

It is advised to avoid the consumption of alcohol if you are getting this injection administered to avoid any adverse effects.

Liver

Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 may affect liver function tests, so if you have any liver health issues, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

This medicine's elimination can be affected in patients with severe renal impairment. Therefore, if you have kidney health concerns, it's advisable to consult your doctor before taking Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific information suggests that Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, if you experience any side effects that could impair these abilities, refrain from such activities and consult your doctor.

Allergy

Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 is contraindicated in patients with known severe hypersensitivity to ceftriaxone, sulbactam or any other cephalosporin or penicillin antibiotic. If you're allergic to any of these, discuss it with your doctor before using this medicine.

Children

Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 can be given to children older than one month, but the dosage should be carefully given based on the child's body weight, which your child's doctor will decide. Consult your paediatrician before giving any medicine to your child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Jacef Sb 250/125 MG Injection 1 under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects and might also have liver and kidney issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
