In particularly difficult cases, Cebanex is prescribed as part of a comprehensive antimicrobial therapy. The drug perfectly interacts with a number of antibiotics that have a bactericidal effect.

Release form

The form of the preparation Cebanex is a powder for the preparation of injections. The drug is produced in glass bottles for parenteral use at 1 and 2 g. Each carton contains one bottle of Zebanex.

This form of release facilitates the process of using the drug. Using a syringe, inject the solution into the vial and shake it thoroughly until Cebanex is completely dissolved.

Pharmacodynamics

Tsebanex is a complex preparation of a wide spectrum of action. The main active substances of this antimicrobial agent are sulbactam and cefoperazone.

  • Sulbatkam is an inhibitor of beta-lactamase, which has virtually no antimicrobial effect. But the work of this substance is that the sulbatkam enhances the action of cefoperazone.
  • Cefoperazone is an antibacterial agent of the third generation of cephalosporins. It actively destroys bacterial microorganisms, which are at the stage of division and multiplication.

The drug Cebanex has an active effect on infections caused by gram-negative and positive aerobic bacteria, the drug has an effect on cocci and bacilli. Before prescribing the drug, it is very important to test the sensitivity of the strains of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. But the drug does not have the proper effect on staphylococci and mycoplasma. The active substances Cebanex quickly and effectively penetrate into biological fluids and tissues, overcoming the hematoplacental barrier.

Pharmacodynamics Zebaneks - these are the processes and actions that the drug has on the body and bacteria. The drug refers to cephalosporin antibiotics, therefore it affects sensitive microorganisms that are in the stage of reproduction. The drug works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of the mucopeptide of cell membranes.

The combination of active substances Cebanex shows activity to all microorganisms that are sensitive to cefoperazone. The drug is active against gram-negative aerobic bacteria, cocci, bacilli and gram-negative cocci and bacilli. It is also active against resistant mycoplasmas and methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

  • Distribution - in adult patients, the distribution begins five minutes after the dose is given in 2g. The distribution rate is 10-12 liters. In this case, the binding to blood proteins at 80%. The drug perfectly penetrates into the body fluids and tissues. Please note that during the distribution of the active substances of the drug penetrate through the placental barrier, so its use during pregnancy is not desirable.
