Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium

Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium are two antibiotics that are often used in combination to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Cefoperazone sodium is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, while sulbactam sodium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of cefoperazone and other beta-lactam antibiotics by resistant bacteria. These antibiotics are commonly used to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and intra-abdominal infections. They are typically administered intravenously in a hospital setting, and the dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and the patient's age and weight. Cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium are both highly effective antibiotics, but they may also have some side effects. Common side effects of cefoperazone sodium include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and allergic reactions, while sulbactam sodium may cause skin rash or itching, diarrhea, and nausea. In terms of chemical information, cefoperazone sodium has a molecular formula of C25H26N9NaO8S2 and a molecular weight of 667.66 g/mol, while sulbactam sodium has a molecular formula of C8H10NNaO5S and a molecular weight of 255.22 g/mol. Both antibiotics are water-soluble and are typically supplied as sterile powders for reconstitution in a solution for injection.
