Description
Scud Xp injection is an antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. It is a combination of cefepime and tazobactam. It is typically administered in a hospital for infections that are difficult to treat, such as those affecting the urinary tract, skin and soft tissue, and intra-abdominal infections. This medicine is only used when other antibiotics have not worked well.
Cefepime kills bacteria by damaging their protective outer wall, which they need to survive. Tazobactam helps cefepime work more effectively by blocking certain enzymes that bacteria use to resist antibiotics. Together, these two medicines work in tandem to kill harmful bacteria and treat your infection more effectively.
Some people may experience side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, headache, rashes, or pain at the injection site. More serious reactions, such as allergic responses or seizures, are rare but possible. Inform your doctor if you have allergies to any antibiotics or if you have kidney problems, as these conditions may affect how the medicine is used. It’s also important to tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, as some can interfere with Scud Xp injection.
This injection will be administered by a doctor or nurse; therefore, it is not recommended that you attempt to use it yourself. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before starting this medicine. Avoid driving if you feel dizzy or confused after taking it. Also, store this medicine properly and keep it out of the reach of children. If you have any unusual symptoms after receiving the injection, inform your healthcare provider immediately.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Cefepime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis; the absence of a bacterial cell wall results in the death of bacteria.
- Tazobactam is a medication that enhances the effectiveness of certain antibiotics. It does this by blocking an enzyme (called beta-lactamase) made by some bacteria that can destroy antibiotics. By stopping this enzyme, tazobactam protects the antibiotic and helps it kill the bacteria more effectively....

- Some medicines can affect the way Scud Xp injection works, or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements or herbal supplements you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
