Toxylac 1.5gm Injection

Toxylac 1.5gm Injection is a combination antibiotic medication that contains two active ingredients, ampicillin and Sulbactam. It has been used for many years and has well-established safety profiles. They have been extensively studied and are considered safe and effective when prescribed. It is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections. Ampicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are enzymes some bacteria produce that can break down certain antibiotics, including penicillins. Combining Sulbactam with ampicillin makes the medication more effective against bacteria that produce beta-lactamases.

If a person has experienced severe hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, to any beta-lactam antibiotic (e.g., penicillins, cephalosporins), then Toxylac 1.5gm Injection should be avoided. It is generally contraindicated in patients with infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever) due to the high skin rash risk. Toxylac 1.5gm Injection should be avoided in individuals with a history of Clostridium difficile-associated colitis, a severe intestinal infection caused by Clostridium difficile, as antibiotic use can worsen the condition.
