ACCUTAZ-HS INJ

Description

ACCUTAZ-HS Injection is a prescription antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections.

Composition:

• Ceftriaxone (500 mg): A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death.
• Tazobactam (62.5 mg): A beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of ceftriaxone by preventing bacterial resistance.

Main Uses:

ACCUTAZ-HS Injection is effective against a range of bacterial infections, including:

• Lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia)
• Urinary tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Bone and joint infections
• Intra-abdominal infections (e.g., peritonitis, biliary tract infections)
• Bacterial meningitis
• Gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory disease
• Sepsis (bloodstream infections)
• Preoperative prophylaxis to prevent surgical infections

How It Works:

Ceftriaxone disrupts the formation of the bacterial cell wall, leading to cell lysis and death. Tazobactam inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria, which would otherwise degrade ceftriaxone, thereby enhancing its antibacterial activity.

Administration:

Administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM) by a healthcare professional. The dosage and duration depend on the type and severity of the infection.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Diarrhea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Rash or allergic reactions
• Injection site reactions (pain, swelling)
• Elevated liver enzymes

Seek immediate medical attention if severe allergic reactions or other serious side effects occur.

Precautions:

• Allergies: Inform your doctor if you have a history of allergic reactions to cephalosporins, penicillins, or beta-lactam antibiotics.
• Liver or Kidney Disease: Use with caution; dose adjustments may be necessary.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before use.
• Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
