Description

Actum 1000mg/1000mg Injection is a combination antibiotic designed to treat a variety of serious bacterial infections. This injection contains 1000mg of Cefoperazone, a potent third-generation cephalosporin, and 1000mg of Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Together, these ingredients help combat bacterial infections in areas such as the respiratory tract, abdominal cavity, skin, and female reproductive organs. Cefoperazone is particularly effective against resistant bacteria like Pseudomonas, which can be difficult to treat with other antibiotics. Actum is administered intravenously or intramuscularly by a healthcare professional for quick and effective results.

Functions

Actum 1000mg/1000mg works by combining the antibacterial properties of Cefoperazone and the protective effects of Sulbactam. Cefoperazone targets a broad spectrum of bacteria, disrupting their cell wall synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death. Sulbactam works by inhibiting bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes, which are produced by certain bacteria to neutralize the effects of antibiotics. This combination is especially beneficial for treating severe infections caused by Pseudomonas and other resistant bacteria, ensuring that the medication remains effective even in the presence of antibiotic resistance.

Precautions

Before using Actum 1000mg/1000mg Injection, inform your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins, or Sulbactam, as this medication may cause an allergic response. Use with caution if you have a history of gastrointestinal conditions like colitis, as this may increase the risk of complications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider to evaluate potential risks. People with liver or kidney disease may require dosage adjustments, so it’s important to discuss your medical history with your doctor. Additionally, ensure that the medication is administered by a qualified healthcare provider, as it requires professional supervision.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Actum 1000mg/1000mg Injection may include rash, diarrhea, and changes in blood cell counts, such as reduced neutrophils (white blood cells) or hemoglobin levels. Some patients may also experience increased liver enzyme levels or eosinophilia (elevated eosinophils). In rare cases, more severe reactions like anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) may occur, and immediate medical attention should be sought. If you experience pain or swelling at the injection site, applying a cold compress may help alleviate discomfort. Always consult your doctor if you notice any unusual or persistent side effects.

Cautions

Actum 1000mg/1000mg should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is not intended for self-administration. The injection should be given intravenously or intramuscularly, and the process typically takes 15-60 minutes. It is important to avoid consuming alcohol during treatment, as it can interact with the medication and cause unpleasant side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or rapid heartbeat. Additionally, if you are undergoing any surgical procedures or taking anticoagulants, inform your doctor, as Actum may interfere with blood clotting. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment to ensure the best outcomes.
