How Opicef S Products work
Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam1 and Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam2. Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam1 is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam2 is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam1 against bacteria.
