How It Works
Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam is a synergistic combination of two medicines:
- Ceftriaxone: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting their ability to form protective cell walls.
- Sulbactam: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from resisting the effects of Ceftriaxone.
Together, they combat infections caused by resistant and non-resistant bacteria.
