Description
Overview of the medicine
Triphin 1 gm Injection contains Triphincillin Sodium, a broad-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is used to treat various severe bacterial infections.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
For severe infections, 1 gm IV/IM every 8-12 hours. Dosage may vary based on infection severity and pathogen susceptibility. Max dose 4 gm/day.
Elderly
Similar to adult dosage, but caution should be exercised and dose adjustment may be necessary based on renal function.
Renal_impairment
Dose reduction required. For creatinine clearance 30-50 mL/min: 1 gm every 12-24 hours; <30 mL/min: 1 gm every 24-48 hours. Hemodialysis patients require a supplementary dose after dialysis.
How to Take
Triphin 1 gm Injection can be administered via slow intravenous (IV) infusion (over 30-60 minutes) or deep intramuscular (IM) injection. For IM administration, a suitable diluent (e.g., lidocaine solution) may be used to reduce pain.
Mechanism of Action
Triphincillin acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the bacterial cell wall, which prevents the cross-linking of peptidoglycan polymers, leading to cell lysis and bacterial death.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Rapid, typically within minutes after intravenous administration.
Excretion
Mainly excreted by the kidneys (glomerular filtration and tubular secretion) into the urine. A small portion may be excreted in bile.
Half life
Approximately 1-2 hours in adults with normal renal function.
Absorption
Rapid and complete absorption after intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration. Peak plasma concentrations are achieved shortly after IV infusion.
Metabolism
Minimal hepatic metabolism; primarily excreted unchanged.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Hypersensitivity to Triphincillin, other beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, cephalosporins), or any component of the formulation.
- •Patients with a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity reactions to any beta-lactam antibiotic.
Drug Interactions
Probenecid
May increase and prolong serum concentrations of Triphincillin by decreasing renal tubular secretion.
Aminoglycosides
Physical incompatibility; do not mix in the same syringe or infusion bottle. Administer separately.
Oral Anticoagulants (e.g., Warfarin)
May enhance the anticoagulant effect, requiring closer monitoring of INR and dose adjustment.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from light. Keep out of reach of children. Reconstituted solution should be used immediately or stored as per specific instructions (e.g., refrigerated for up to 24 hours).
Overdose
In case of overdose, supportive and symptomatic treatment should be initiated. Hemodialysis may be useful in enhancing the elimination of Triphincillin from the body, especially in patients with impaired renal function.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Category B. Use in pregnancy only if clearly needed. Triphincillin is excreted in breast milk; caution should be exercised when administered to a nursing mother. Consult your doctor.
