Elores 1.5gm Injection

1. Product Introduction

Elores 1.5gm Injection is a powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotic used for the treatment of severe bacterial infections. It is a unique triple combination formulation that includes Ceftriaxone (a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic), Sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor), and Disodium Edetate (EDTA) (a metal ion chelator that enhances antibiotic activity).

This advanced combination is designed to tackle resistant bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Elores is administered intravenously under the supervision of medical professionals in hospitals or clinical settings. It is especially valuable in treating infections in critical care or hospitalized patients where standard antibiotics may not be effective.

By combining three potent components, Elores enhances antimicrobial efficacy, reduces bacterial resistance, and offers a comprehensive approach to treating serious infections.

2. Uses of Elores 1.5gm Injection

Elores 1.5gm Injection is used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by resistant pathogens. Its indications include:

• Lower Respiratory Tract Infections (e.g., pneumonia, bronchitis)

• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) (including complicated infections)

• Intra-abdominal Infections

• Gynecological Infections

• Skin and Soft Tissue Infections

• Bone and Joint Infections

• Septicemia (blood infections)

• Post-surgical Infections

• Hospital-acquired Infections (HAIs)

• Meningitis and other CNS infections (in selected cases)

It is especially useful in intensive care units (ICUs) where multidrug-resistant bacteria are common and traditional antibiotics may fail.

3. Benefits of Elores 1.5gm Injection

• Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Action: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam work together to destroy a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to conventional antibiotics.

• Enhanced Efficacy with EDTA: Disodium edetate breaks down bacterial biofilms and disrupts resistance mechanisms, allowing the other antibiotics to work more effectively.

• Effective Against Resistant Strains: Especially useful in infections caused by ESBL-producing organisms and multidrug-resistant pathogens, including Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacteriaceae.

• Combination Therapy in One Injection: The synergy of three agents reduces the need for multiple separate medications, simplifying treatment protocols and improving compliance.

• Reduced Treatment Failure: With its multi-target mechanism, Elores helps lower the risk of antibiotic failure in critical infections.

• Safe and Well-Tolerated: When administered correctly, Elores has a favorable safety profile and is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with co-morbidities.
