How it Works:
Bacsitam 1000mg/500mg Injection is a combination of two medicines: Amoxycillin and Sulbactam. Amoxycillin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Amoxycillin against bacteria.

Quick Tips:

• You have been prescribed this combination medicine to treat bacterial infections even if they have developed resistance.
• Finish the prescribed course even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may make the infection come back and harder to treat.
• Take it with food and plenty of fluids to avoid an upset stomach.
• Do not use leftover medicine for treating any infection in the future. Always consult your doctor before taking any antibiotic.
