Cefotaxime

A cephalosporin antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from building cell walls.

Sulbactam

A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from breaking down cefotaxime, enhancing its effectiveness.

Treatment of various bacterial infections, including pneumonia, skin and skin structure infections, intraabdominal infections, and infections of the urinary tract.

Treatment of infections caused by bacteria resistant to other antibiotics.

Cefotaxime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Sulbactam inhibits beta-lactamases, enzymes produced by bacteria that inactivate many beta-lactam antibiotics like cefotaxime. This combination ensures the effectiveness of cefotaxime against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.
