Zantum 2g Injection

Zantum 2g Injection contains Cefoperazone 2g, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic given by injection, often combined with sulbactam. Made by Cell Laboratories, it is prescribed for chest infections, abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, blood infections, gynaecological infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. Pack size: zantum 2 gm inj.

Uses of Zantum 2g Injection

Zantum 2g 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. Many products combine it with sulbactam, which protects it from bacteria that would otherwise break it down.

How Zantum 2g Injection works

Cefoperazone stops bacteria from building their cell wall. When combined with sulbactam, it can also work against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes. Zantum 2g Injection is given as an injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or nurse, usually in hospital or a clinic.

Precautions and warnings
