Eprom S 1.5 Injection

Introduction

Eprom S is a medication that contains two active ingredients: Cefpirome and Sulbactam. It is available in the form of an injection and is primarily used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

Uses

Eprom S is prescribed to treat various types of bacterial infections caused by susceptible microorganisms. It is commonly used to treat infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, and intra-abdominal infections.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Eprom S will depend on the specific infection being treated, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and overall health condition. It is typically administered by a healthcare professional through intravenous infusion or injection.

Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Do not change the dosage or stop the medication without consulting your doctor.

Mechanism of Action

Eprom S contains two active ingredients: Cefpirome and Sulbactam. Cefpirome belongs to a class of antibiotics called cephalosporins, while Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

Cefpirome works by interfering with the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to the death of the bacteria. Sulbactam helps to enhance the effectiveness of Cefpirome by inhibiting the enzymes produced by certain bacteria that can inactivate Cefpirome.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and allergic reactions such as rash or itching. These side effects are generally mild and do not require medical attention.

However, if you experience any serious side effects such as severe allergic reactions, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products. Certain medications may interact with Eprom S, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Some common drug interactions include the concurrent use of other antibiotics, anticoagulants, and certain medications that may affect kidney function. Your healthcare provider will be able to determine if any potential drug interactions exist and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Precautions

Before using Eprom S, inform your healthcare provider if you have any known allergies to Cefpirome, Sulbactam, or any other medications. Disclose your medical history, especially if you have a history of kidney problems or any other underlying health conditions.

Eprom S should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins or beta-lactamase inhibitors. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and take the medication as prescribed.

Storage

Eprom S should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use Eprom S if the packaging is damaged or if the expiry date has passed.
