Antibiotic resistance and multidrug-resistant bacterial infections pose serious global health threats. Combating these infections requires advanced, broad-spectrum, and synergistically potent antibiotic combinations. One such clinically effective and widely prescribed combination is Ceftriaxone 1000mg & Sulbactam 500mg.
Ceftriaxone, a third-generation cephalosporin, combined with Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, offers a powerful and targeted approach to managing a broad range of bacterial infections, especially those caused by beta-lactamase-producing organisms.
BluepillExpress, a global pharmaceutical manufacturing and export company, offers third-party manufacturing of this highly demanded antibiotic injection, ensuring quality, regulatory compliance, and scalable production for healthcare brands across domestic and international markets.

Pharmacological Profile
Ceftriaxone (1000mg)
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin with broad-spectrum activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and demonstrates high stability against beta-lactamase enzymes.
Sulbactam (500mg)
Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that extends the antibacterial spectrum of ceftriaxone by inactivating beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. It allows ceftriaxone to remain effective against strains that would otherwise degrade and resist it.
Mechanism of Action
This fixed-dose combination works through two complementary mechanisms:
- Ceftriaxone binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting bacterial cell wall synthesis and leading to cell lysis and death.
- Sulbactam irreversibly binds to beta-lactamase enzymes, preventing the degradation of ceftriaxone and enhancing its effectiveness against resistant pathogens.
The synergistic effect provides enhanced efficacy in polymicrobial infections and in cases of beta-lactamase-producing organisms.
Indications
This combination is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of serious bacterial infections, including:
- Respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs, pyelonephritis)
- Intra-abdominal infections
- Biliary tract infections
- Bone and joint infections
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Bacterial septicemia
- Meningitis
- Gynecological infections (pelvic inflammatory disease)
- Post-surgical infections and prophylaxis
Dosage and Administration
The dosage and frequency of administration depend on the severity of the infection, patient condition, and physician’s clinical judgment. Typical recommendations include:
- Adults and Elderly:
1–2g ceftriaxone once daily (combined with appropriate dose of sulbactam)
Can be administered every 12 or 24 hours as per infection severity - Route:
Intramuscular (IM) – for outpatient and mild-to-moderate infections
Intravenous (IV) – for severe infections or hospitalized patients - Diluent for Reconstitution:
Sterile Water for Injection or Lidocaine (for IM use)
Note: Always follow approved clinical guidelines and consult local prescribing information.
Advantages of This Combination
- Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Active against aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms
- Resistant Pathogen Targeting: Effective against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria
- Once or Twice Daily Dosing: Improves patient compliance in hospital and outpatient settings
- Wide Clinical Use: Suitable for multiple infection sites and systemic infections
- Cost-Effective Alternative: Compared to newer, more expensive antimicrobials
