Description
Maczone Plus Injection combines Ceftriaxone (1000mg), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, with Sulbactam (500mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination enhances the effectiveness of treatment, especially against bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics.
How it works:
-
Ceftriaxone destroys the bacterial cell wall, leading to death of the bacteria.
-
Sulbactam prevents bacteria from producing enzymes that can inactivate Ceftriaxone, thereby boosting its action.
