Sultamicillin tosilate is a combination of ampicillin and sulbactam.Ampicillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that fights bacterial infections.Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor, which helps ampicillin work better by protecting it from enzymes that bacteria produce to inactivate it.

Treatment of infections of the skin and skin structures
Treatment of urinary tract infections
Treatment of gynecological infections
Sultazide 375mg Tablet (Sultamicillin Tosilate) works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Ampicillin binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), preventing the formation of peptidoglycan, a crucial component of the bacterial cell wall. This leads to bacterial cell lysis and death. Sulbactam inhibits beta-lactamases, preventing the inactivation of ampicillin by these enzymes, thus extending ampicillin's effectiveness against beta-lactamase producing bacteria.
