Prescription Required.Why?
A cephalosporin antibiotic that works by killing bacteria.
A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from breaking down ceftriaxone, making it more effective.
Treatment of various bacterial infections, including skin and skin structure infections, intraabdominal infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and respiratory tract infections.
Treatment of infections caused by bacteria that produce betalactamase enzymes, which would otherwise render ceftriaxone ineffective.
Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death. Sulbactam prevents the inactivation of ceftriaxone by bacterial beta-lactamases, ensuring its effectiveness against bacteria resistant to other beta-lactam antibiotics.
