Sporizox-S Injection is used to treat various bacterial infections in the body. It contains Ceftizoxime and Sulbactam. Ceftizoxime inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering necessary for their survival), causing damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leading to the death of the bacterial cell. Sulbactam decreases bacterial resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftizoxime against the bacteria. Together, it helps treat bacterial infections.

It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Sulbactam works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of Ceftizoxime against the bacteria. Together, Sporizox-S Injection helps treat bacterial infections.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.

Sulbactam works by decreasing bacterial resistance and enhancing the activity of Ceftizoxime against the bacteria. Thus, Sporizox-S Injection helps to treat bacterial infections.
Sporizox-S Injection may cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD). Antibiotic treatment alters the normal flora, leading to overgrowth of Clostridium difficile, which causes diarrhoea.
