Ceftriaxone 1000 mg + Sulbactam 500 mg

Mulcef Injection 1.5 gm 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.

Mulcef Injection 1.5 gm 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).

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Mulcef Injection 1.5 gm are pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and black colour stools.

It is not recommended to take Mulcef Injection 1.5 gm if you are allergic to penicillin or any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents.
