Description

Taximax powder for injection is an antibiotic combination used to treat many types of bacterial infections. These include lung infections like pneumonia, ear infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, bone and joint infections, and infections in the stomach or abdomen. It can also be used for serious blood infections (sepsis), infections of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis), and certain sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhoea. Targeting harmful bacteria helps your body recover from these illnesses.

It works in two ways. Ceftriaxone kills bacteria by stopping them from building their protective outer wall, which they need to survive. Without this wall, the bacteria break apart and die. Sulbactam helps ceftriaxone work better by blocking the substance that some bacteria produce to protect themselves from antibiotics. This way, the combination can effectively kill bacteria that would otherwise resist treatment.

You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to ceftriaxone, sulbactam, or similar antibiotics, or if you have had severe allergic reactions to penicillin or cephalosporins. It should not be given to newborns with jaundice or those needing calcium treatment through a vein. People with both severe liver and kidney problems should also avoid it unless advised otherwise by their doctor. Common side effects include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, mouth or tongue soreness, skin rash, itching, and hives.

Some medicines may interact with Taximax powder for injection. Probenecid can slow the removal of sulbactam from the body, increasing its effect. Ceftriaxone may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, so you should use an extra non-hormonal method like condoms during treatment and for one month after. Always let your doctor know about any medicines you are taking, including herbal supplements. A doctor or nurse usually gives this medicine, so you are unlikely to miss a dose or take too much.

During pregnancy, this medicine should only be used if your doctor believes it is clearly needed. While small amounts can pass into breast milk, they may be used during breastfeeding with caution and under medical supervision. Ceftriaxone may cause dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel unsteady. There is no known interaction with alcohol. Always tell your doctor if you have a history of allergies, stomach or bowel problems, liver or kidney disease, unusual bleeding, or if you develop diarrhoea, rash, or breathing problems during treatment.
