Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is used in treating mild to moderate infections of the nose, ears, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lungs (such as pneumonia and bronchitis (infection in the airway tubes)) caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and is not effective for viral infections like the flu or a common cold.

Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection contains Cefpirome and Sulbactam. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival.

Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection may cause certain side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, pain at the injection site, and stomach pain. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.

Avoid taking Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection if you are allergic to it or any other penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics. Let your doctor know about your complete medical history, including current medication, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your doctor if you have/had liver and kidney disease. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection. 

Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection contains Cefpirome (a cephalosporin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpirome is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme bacteria produce that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime). Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection works by inhibiting the synthesis of the necessary bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections.

• Include more fiber-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate growth.
• Fiber foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
• Avoid taking too much calcium or iron-enriched foods, as it might affect the working of Cefitryp S 1.5gm Injection.

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter, grow, and infect the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. When you get infected with these germs, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Generally, individuals with a weak immune system are more prone to infections.
