Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's

Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (ceftriaxone).

Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer.

Drug-Drug Interactions:  Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's may interact with vaccines (cholera vaccine) estrogens (Ethinyl estradiol), penicillin antibiotics (mezlocillin and azlocillin), aminoglycoside antibiotics (amikacin, streptomycin, neomycin and gentamicin), immuno-suppressant(cyclosporine) and medicine used to treat gout (probenecid).

Drug-Food Interactions: No interactions found.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, diabetes, seizures, liver diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and bleeding disorders.

• Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
• Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages with Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep.  This can make it harder for your body to aid the Cefrine Plus 1.5gm Injection 1's in fighting off infections.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection occurs when dangerous bacteria enter the body, flourish, and spread throughout it. It multiplies quickly and can attack any organ in the body. A lot of them emit toxins, which can harm the tissue and make you ill. Minor illnesses like sore throats and ear infections to serious brain infections are all caused by bacteria (like meningitis and encephalitis). Generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue can occur when you become infected with bacteria. Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli are a few harmful bacteria that frequently cause infections. Anyone can contract a bacterial infection, but those with weakened immune systems or those taking immunosuppressive drugs like steroids are more vulnerable.
