Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat several types of bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, upper and lower respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, chest, lungs, soft tissue, skin, bone and joint, intra-abdominal and gonococcal infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection contains two antibiotics, Ampicillin (penicillin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ampicillin works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam works by blocking beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection may cause common side effects such as pain at the injection site, diarrhoea, nausea or vomiting. Most of these side effects of Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Ampicillin, Sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, discuss with your doctor about other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while on treatment with Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. If you have or have ever had liver disease, especially after using a penicillin antibiotic, inform your doctor before receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. 

Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection is a combination of two antibiotics: Ampicillin and Sulbactam, used to treat several bacterial infections. Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity that acts against aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Ampicillin interferes with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. It damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Sulbactam blocks beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by bacteria to inactivate antibiotics. Thus, it prevents bacteria from destroying Ampicillin.

• Pain at the injection site
• Diarrhoea
• Nausea
• Vomiting

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to ampicillin, sulbactam, cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillin antibiotics, or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. Ampicillin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Therefore, discuss with your doctor about other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while on treatment with Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. If you have or have ever had liver disease, especially after using a penicillin antibiotic, inform your doctor before receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection. Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection may interact with specific tests such as glucose (sugar) in urine and give false positive results. Therefore, inform the doctor that you are on treatment with Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection before undergoing any tests.

Drug-Drug Interaction: Inform your doctor if you are taking medicines used to treat gout (probenecid, allopurinol), anticancer drugs (methotrexate), aminoglycosides, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antibiotics (erythromycin, sulphonamides, chloramphenicol, tetracyclines), or estrogen-containing oral contraceptives.

Drug-Food Interaction: No interactions found.

Drug-Disease Interaction: If you have mononucleosis (a contagious disease), have or have ever had liver disease, allergies, hay fever, asthma, hives or kidney disease, inform your doctor before receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection.

• PROBENECID
• ALLOPURINOL
• METHOTREXATE
• ERYTHROMYCIN
• CHLORAMPHENICOL

• Take probiotics after completing the full course of Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
• Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
• Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while you are receiving Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection.
• Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.

• If you are about to undergo any urine tests, inform your doctor or lab technician that you are on treatment with Sultapro-1.5 gm Injection as it may interfere with these tests giving false positive results.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes infection. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes: spherical, rod, or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). Appropriate tests are done to identify bacterial strains, and based on the results, proper medication is prescribed. Some common symptoms of bacterial infection include cough, fever, and tiredness.
