Aditriaxone 1000mg/125mg Tablet

Introduction

Aditriaxone is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Ceftriaxone and Tazobactam. Ceftriaxone belongs to a class of drugs called cephalosporin antibiotics, while Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination of ingredients makes Aditriaxone a powerful antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.

Uses

Aditriaxone is commonly prescribed for the treatment of various infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is particularly effective against respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Your healthcare provider will determine whether Aditriaxone is the appropriate medication for your specific condition.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Aditriaxone will vary depending on the severity of the infection, the patient’s age, and other individual factors. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Aditriaxone is typically administered by intravenous infusion, under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Ceftriaxone, one of the active ingredients in Aditriaxone, works by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the disruption of their structure and ultimately killing the bacteria. Tazobactam, the other active ingredient, acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, preventing certain bacteria from destroying the effectiveness of Ceftriaxone. This combination enhances the overall efficacy of Aditriaxone in fighting bacterial infections.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and headache. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as severe diarrhea, rash, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements. Certain medications may interact with Aditriaxone, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Some common drug interactions include probenecid, anticoagulants, and certain diuretics. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medications while taking Aditriaxone.

Precautions

Before taking Aditriaxone, inform your healthcare provider about any allergies you may have, especially to cephalosporin antibiotics or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Additionally, let your healthcare provider know if you have any kidney problems or a history of liver disease. Aditriaxone may not be suitable for you if you have certain medical conditions or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your healthcare provider will assess the potential risks and benefits before prescribing Aditriaxone.
