Monobaz 1g (Aztreonam Injection) 1gm

MonobaZ-1000 is used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections caused by gram-negative organisms. It is particularly effective in cases where patients are allergic to penicillins or cephalosporins.

• Urinary tract infections: Treats complicated and uncomplicated UTIs caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria.
• Lower respiratory tract infections: Effective against pneumonia and other lower respiratory infections.
• Intra-abdominal infections: Used to manage infections within the abdominal cavity.
• Septicemia: Treats bloodstream infections caused by gram-negative bacteria.
• Skin and soft tissue infections: Manages infections in the skin and underlying tissues.
• Gynecological infections: Used to treat infections in the female reproductive system.

• Aztreonam works by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, which are essential for bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan synthesis. By inhibiting this process, Aztreonam weakens the bacterial cell wall, leading to the rupture and death of the bacteria. This mechanism makes it effective against a range of gram-negative bacteria.
