Cefoperazone & Sulbactam Injection 2 g

Third-Generation Cephalosporin Antibiotic Beta-Lactamase Inhibitor Combination Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Agent

Cefoperazone & Sulbactam Injection 2 g is a broad-spectrum antibiotic combination used to treat moderate to severe bacterial infections. Cefoperazone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, while sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects cefoperazone from bacterial enzymes that cause antibiotic resistance. This combination enhances antibacterial activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly used in hospitals to treat infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, and bloodstream.
