About Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection

Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection is a combination of two medicines: Cefotaxime and Sulbactam. Cefotaxime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime).

Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. The common side effects of Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection are pain and swelling at the injection site, skin rash, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection if you are allergic to penicillin, any cephalosporin antibiotic or its contents. Before taking Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, are on a low-salt diet, have diabetes or using other antibiotics. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop using Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (bacteria become resistant to antibiotics). Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection is probably safe when used in children, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and elderly people. Tuftax Vail 1.5 gm Injection may not interact with alcohol.

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any organ of the body and multiply very quickly. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses (like sore throat and ear infections) to severe brain infections (like meningitis and encephalitis). When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fevers, chills and fatigue. A few harmful bacteria that commonly cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
