About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Castum Injection: A Powerful Combination for Respiratory Infections
Castum Injection is a potent antibiotic formulation containing cefoperazone (1000 mg) and sulbactam (500 mg), providing comprehensive bacterial coverage for various respiratory infections.
This combination targets a broad spectrum of pathogens, including Gram-negative bacteria commonly associated with pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Cefoperazone acts as the primary antibacterial agent, while sulbactam enhances its efficacy by inhibiting β-lactamases—enzymes that can break down β-lactam antibiotics like cefoperazone.
Castum Injection is ideal for both outpatient and inpatient settings. The precise dosing regimen ensures optimal bacterial clearance and minimizes potential side effects. Always follow your healthcare professional's instructions regarding dosage and administration.
Important: This medication should only be used as directed by a qualified medical professional. It is vital to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new treatment.

About Cefoperazone
Cefoperazone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell lysis and death. Cefoperazone is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In summary, it is a critical antibiotic for managing infections.
How It Works
Cefoperazone binds to penicillin-binding proteins, disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis and leading to cell death.
All Active Ingredients
Sulbactam
Sulbactam irreversibly binds to beta-lactamase enzymes, preventing them from inactivating beta-lactam antibiotics.
