Monocef-SB contains Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. Ceftriaxone is a 3rd Generation Cephalosporin and a wide spectrum antibiotic. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor.

 

Ceftriaxone interferes with the formation of bacterial cell walls thereby inhibiting its action. But, bacterias secrete enzyme called beta-lactamase that inhibits the activity of ceftriaxone. Sulbactam irreversibly binds to beta-lactamase and blocks it. Hence, it prevents Ceftriaxone from degradation.

 

Monocef-SB is used and administered in the treatment of both gram -ve and gram +ve bacterial infections. It is used to treat bacterial infections like gonorrhea (infection of female reproductive organ), pelvic inflammatory disease and also infections of lungs, skin, blood, bones, joints and abdomen.

 

Monocef-SB is a brand from Aristo Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. Since its inception in 1971, Aristo pharmaceuticals is supporting medical profession in promoting and preserving good health. It is one of the Top 10 pharmaceutical companies of India delivering world class quality products.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It’s caused by infection with the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It tends to infect warm, moist areas of the body, including the:

 

  • Urethra (the tube that drains urine from the urinary bladder)
  • Eyes
  • Throat
  • Vagina
  • Anus
  • Female reproductive tract (the fallopian tubes, cervix, and uterus)

 

Gonorrhea passes from person to person through unprotected oral, anal, or vaginal sex. People with numerous sexual partners or those who don’t use a condom are at greatest risk of infection. The best protections against infection are abstinence, monogamy (sex with only one partner), and proper condom usage. Behaviors that make a person more likely to engage in unprotected sex also increase the likelihood of infection. These behaviors include alcohol abuse and illegal drug abuse, particularly intravenous drug use.

 

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs. The pelvis is in the lower abdomen and includes the fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and the uterus.

 

Several different types of bacteria can cause PID, including the same bacteria that cause the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) gonorrhea and chlamydia. What commonly occurs is that bacteria first enter the vagina and cause an infection. As time passes, this infection can move into the pelvic organs.

 

PID can become extremely dangerous, even life-threatening, if the infection spreads to your blood. If you suspect that you may have an infection, see your doctor as soon as possible.
