Maxbac 500mg IV/IM Injecti

Maxbac 500mg is an antibiotic medication categorized under the anti-infectives therapeutic class, specifically formulated for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration. Each vial of Maxbac contains 500 mg of Ceftazidime USP (as Pentahydrate), a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic. The formulation also includes Sodium Carbonate as a buffer. To facilitate reconstitution of the powder, each package of Maxbac 500mg is accompanied by an ampoule containing 5 ml of water for injection. The product is also supplied with a sterile disposable syringe, an alcohol prep pad, and a strip bandage to ensure a safe and sterile administration process.

Ceftazidime, the active ingredient in Maxbac 500mg, is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria and is frequently used in hospital settings for severe or resistant infections. Indications for Ceftazidime include pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, intra-abdominal infections, and infections in immunocompromised patients. It is also used for infections in patients who have few other antibiotic options due to resistance issues.

The dosage of Maxbac 500mg (Ceftazidime) should be determined by a healthcare professional and varies based on the type, severity, and location of the infection, as well as patient-specific factors such as age, weight, and kidney function. The medication can be administered either intravenously or intramuscularly.

For the preparation of the injection, the Ceftazidime powder in the vial is reconstituted with the provided 5 ml of sterile water. It's crucial to adhere to aseptic techniques during preparation, using the alcohol prep pad for sterilization and the sterile syringe for drawing and administering the solution. Once reconstituted, the solution should be used within a specified timeframe to ensure efficacy and prevent contamination. Proper administration techniques are important, and patients or caregivers should be trained in these methods. The included strip bandage can be used for post-injection wound care.

Patients are advised to complete the full prescribed course of Maxbac 500mg, even if symptoms improve early, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance. Dosage adjustments, if necessary, should always be guided by a healthcare provider.
