Description: Oframax S is a high-potency injectable antibiotic combination containing Ceftriaxone (1000mg) and Sulbactam (500mg), totaling 1500mg per vial. Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin that kills bacteria by preventing them from forming protective cell walls. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that "defends" the Ceftriaxone from being destroyed by resistant bacteria. This synergistic pairing allows Oframax S to effectively treat severe infections that standard antibiotics might fail to clear.
In Nigeria, Oframax S is a critical clinical intervention for moderate to severe hospital-acquired and community-acquired infections. It is available through authorized health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive a genuine, clinically validated medication stored in a stable, temperature-controlled environment to maintain its chemical potency and life-saving efficacy.
Important: Oframax S is a prescription-only medication that must be administered by a trained healthcare professional via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection. It is used for bacterial infections only and is ineffective against viral infections like the flu. A skin sensitivity test (AST) is often recommended before the first dose to rule out severe allergic reactions.
Oframax S 1500mg is primarily used to treat:
Severe Respiratory Infections: Including complicated pneumonia and lung abscesses
Typhoid Fever: Highly effective against multi-drug resistant Salmonella typhi
Abdominal Infections: Such as peritonitis and biliary tract infections
Meningitis: Effective for bacterial infections of the brain and spinal cord membranes
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Including severe kidney infections (pyelonephritis)
Surgical Prophylaxis: Used before and after surgery to prevent post-operative infections
Skin & Soft Tissue Infections: Managing cellulitis or infected wounds
This product is suitable for:
Adults and children (dose adjusted by weight) with serious systemic bacterial infections
Patients with infections suspected of being resistant to standard penicillins
Individuals requiring rapid-acting, high-concentration antibiotic therapy in a clinical setting
Not recommended for: Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Ceftriaxone, Sulbactam, or any other cephalosporin. Use with extreme caution if you have a history of severe penicillin allergy. It is contraindicated in premature infants and neonates with jaundice (yellowing of the skin/eyes).
Clinical Setting: Must be reconstituted with sterile water for injection and administered by a nurse or doctor
IM Administration: Usually dissolved in Lidocaine to reduce pain at the injection site (never use Lidocaine for IV administration)
IV Administration: Given as a slow bolus injection over 2–4 minutes or as an infusion over 30 minutes
Full Course: It is essential to complete the number of days prescribed by the physician, even if the fever or symptoms disappear early
Storage: Store the dry powder in a cool, dry place. Once reconstituted, it should be used immediately or within the timeframe specified by the manufacturer
Most side effects are manageable and related to the body's response to the medication:
Common: Pain or redness at the injection site, or mild diarrhea
Occasional: Nausea, vomiting, or a mild skin rash/itching
Hematological: Temporary changes in white blood cell or platelet counts
Rare: "Sludge" in the gallbladder (usually reversible after stopping treatment)
Serious: Seek immediate medical attention for severe watery/bloody diarrhea, swelling of the face/throat, or difficulty breathing

How long does it take to work?
Since it is injected directly into the body, Oframax S begins to reach therapeutic levels in the blood almost immediately. Most patients see a significant reduction in fever and symptoms within 24 to 48 hours.
Can it be used for a common cold?
No. Oframax S is a powerful antibiotic meant for serious bacterial infections. Using it for viral colds or minor infections contributes to antibiotic resistance and can make future infections harder to treat.
Is it safe for pregnant women?
Ceftriaxone is generally considered safe during pregnancy when used under strict medical supervision, but it should only be used if the clinical benefit outweighs any potential risk to the fetus.
