Actam-S Injection

Description

Actam-S Injection is a combination medicine used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and preventing their spread. The medication should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is important to complete the prescribed treatment course, even if you feel better, as premature discontinuation may reduce the medicine’s effectiveness.

Salt Composition
Ceftriaxone 1000mg + Sulbactam 500mg

How to Use
Actam-S Injection should be administered by a doctor or nurse. Do not self-administer the injection. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and attend all scheduled appointments. Complete the full course of treatment as directed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure all bacteria are eliminated and resistance is prevented.

Uses/Benefits
Actam-S Injection is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including those of the ear, sinus, throat, lungs, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. It combines two medicines: Ceftriaxone, which prevents the growth of bacteria, and Sulbactam, which enhances Ceftriaxone’s effectiveness and reduces bacterial resistance. The medication typically provides relief within a few days, but it is important to continue the treatment until completion to ensure full eradication of the infection.
