Uses of Doubactum 1 gm Injection

Doubactum 1 gm Injection is used for moderate to severe bacterial infections, often in hospital. These include chest infections, infections inside the abdomen, complicated urinary tract infections, septicaemia, pelvic and gynaecological infections, and skin and soft tissue infections.

Cefoperazone stops bacteria from building their cell wall. When combined with sulbactam, it can also work against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes. Doubactum 1 gm Injection is given as an injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or nurse, usually in hospital or a clinic.
