About Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj

Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, upper and lower respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, soft tissue, skin, bone and joint, intra-abdominal and gonococcal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj contains two antibiotics, Ampicillin (penicillin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ampicillin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam works by blocking beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj may cause common side effects such as pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting. Most of these side effects of Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Ampicillin, Sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, discuss with your doctor about other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while on treatment with Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj. If you have or have ever had liver disease, especially after using a penicillin antibiotic, inform your doctor before receiving Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj 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 cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are receiving Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.

Special Advise

  • If you are about to undergo any urine tests, inform your doctor or lab technician that you are on treatment with Toxylac 1.5Gm Inj as it may interfere with these tests giving false positive results.
