About Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection

Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection 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.

Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection 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).

Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional, so do not self-administer. The common side effects of Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection 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 Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection if you are allergic to penicillin or any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Before taking Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection, inform your doctor if you have an electrolyte imbalance, seizures, or gastrointestinal diseases. Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and the elderly. Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection may not interact with alcohol. Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection may cause dizziness, so do not drive or operate heavy machinery if you feel dizzy.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Probiotics should be taken after taking the full course of Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection 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 Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection as they can make you dehydrated and may affect your sleep.  This can make it harder for your body to aid the Oframax Forte 1.5 gm Injection in fighting off infections.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.
