Mode of Action

How It Works

Ceftriaxone, one of the active components, functions by directly eliminating bacteria responsible for infections. Bacteria can produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase, which has the capacity to inactivate ceftriaxone. Sulbactam, the other component, works by inhibiting this beta-lactamase enzyme, thereby protecting ceftriaxone and allowing it to effectively exert its antibacterial action.
