How Nosobac Products work
Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme called beta lactamase produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Sulbactam is frequently combined with beta-lactam antibiotics, such as ampicillin, cefoperazone, meropenem. As a single medicine, it treats infection caused by a type of bacterium called Acinetobacter baumanii. This activity is mediated by its interaction with certain proteins.
Patient Concerns about Nosobac
Frequently asked questions about Nosobac Products
Frequently asked questions about Cefoperazone
Q. Is Cefoperazone effective?
Cefoperazone is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Cefoperazone too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. Is Cefoperazone bactericidal or bacteriostatic?
Cefoperazone is primarily bactericidal(one which kills the causative organisms) but it may be bacteriostatic (one which slows down the growth of bacteria) also. Its activity depends on the organism, tissue penetration, dosage, and rate of organism multiplication.
Q. How does Cefoperazone act?
Cefoperazone acts by adhering to the proteins synthesized by the bacteria, thereby inhibiting the organisms to develop their protective covering known as cell wall. This kills the bacteria.
Q. Is Cefoperazone bad for the kidneys?
No, Cefoperazone is not bad for the kidneys when given alone, but when given along with aminoglycosides (gentamicin, tobramycin) or other cephalosporins antibiotics, it may increase kidney damage. Therefore, it is advised to take this medicine only if prescribed by your doctor.
Q. Can the use of Cefoperazone cause diarrhea?
Yes, the use of Cefoperazone can cause diarrhea. Cefoperazone is an antibiotic which kills the harmful bacteria but can also affect the helpful bacteria in your stomach or intestine and cause diarrhea. If diarrhea persists, talk to your doctor about it.
Q. How long does Cefoperazone take to work?
Usually, Cefoperazone starts working soon after you take it. However, it may take some days to kill all the harmful bacteria and relieve your symptoms completely.
Q. What if I do not get better after using Cefoperazone?
Inform your doctor if you do not feel better even after finishing the full course of treatment. You must also inform your doctor if the symptoms get worse while using this medicine.
Q. What if I forget to take a dose of Cefoperazone?
If you forget a dose of Cefoperazone, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.
Frequently asked questions about Sulbactam
Q. Why is Sulbactam added to other antibiotics?
Sulbactam added to other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., because Sulbactam contains Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of other antibiotics like ampicillin, cefoperazone, etc., against the bacteria.
Q. Who should not take Sulbactam?
Sulbactam should not be taken by an individual if he/she had an allergic reaction to ampicillin, sulbactam, or any penicillin antibiotic (such as penicillins or cephalosporins), or if he/she has a history of liver problems caused by ampicillin/sulbactam.
Q. What should I discuss with my doctor before receiving Sulbactam?
Before taking Sulbactam, you should tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Sulbactam or any similar medicine. Inform the doctor if you have any type of allergy, asthma or breathing problems, heart disease or kidney disease. Let your doctor know about all the medicines that you may be taking as they may affect or be affected by Sulbactam. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also seek their doctor’s advice before taking Sulbactam.
Q. Can I use a discolored solution of Sulbactam?
No. You should not use Sulbactam if the medicine has changed colors or has particles in it. The discolored solution may be contaminated and may not be as effective as it is expected to be. Also, it may cause additional side effects. So, it is better, that you discard the solution and go for another vial.
Q. I feel better now. Can I stop taking Sulbactam?
No. Make sure to receive all doses your doctor has prescribed, even if you feel better. This is because your symptoms may have improved but chances are that the infection is still present in your body. Skipping doses can increase the risk of developing an infection that is resistant to medication. So, continue taking Sulbactam as prescribed. After you have finished all the doses, your doctor may advise you on some tests to make sure your infection has completely cleared up.
Q. Does Sulbactam treat the flu?
No. Sulbactam does not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
