Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm 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.
Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm 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).
Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm include pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and black/tarry stools. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
It is not recommended to take Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm if you are allergic to penicillin or any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Before taking Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases. Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the elderly. Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm may not interact with alcohol. Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.
Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm contains Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic, whereas Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm has broad-spectrum activity and is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It makes the drug effective in multiple serious bacterial infections, including infections of the bloodstream (septicemia), bones (osteomyelitis), the heart valves (endocarditis), the membranes protecting the brain (meningitis), acute bacterial otitis media (infection of the middle ear) and the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) and to prevent and treat infections following surgeries.
It is not recommended to take Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm if you are allergic to penicillin, any cephalosporin antibiotic, or its contents. Before taking Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics.

Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy. Alterations in prothrombin time (a test used to check for bleeding problems) have been reported in patients receiving this medicine. Antibiotic therapy will cause an imbalance in the normal microbial flora of the large intestine, which may promote the growth of a bacteria called Clostridium difficile, and you may experience severe diarrhoea.
Drug-Drug Interactions: Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm 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: Extacef Xl Injection 1.5gm should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, diabetes, seizures, liver diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and bleeding disorders.
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.
