Prescription Required.Why?
A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ceftriaxone from breakdown by certain bacteria.
Treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms in various parts of the body, including:
Skin and skin structure infections
Intraabdominal infections
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Septicemia
Respiratory tract infections (some formulations)
Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Sulbactam prevents the inactivation of ceftriaxone by bacterial beta-lactamases, enzymes that break down beta-lactam antibiotics, thus enhancing ceftriaxone's effectiveness.
