What is Ampicillin Sodium + Sulbactam Sodium?
Active Ingredients: Ampicillin Sodium, Sulbactam Sodium
Ampicillin Sodium + Sulbactam Sodium for Injection is an antibiotic used to treat various types of bacterial infections. It can be used to treat intra-abdominal infections and skin and skin structure infections caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Ampicillin is a broad-spectrum, beta-lactam penicillin antibiotic. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.
Sulbactam Sodium is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It works to prevent the action of beta-lactamase, which destroys antibiotics like Ampicillin.
This combination is effective against certain infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter, and anaerobes. Depending on the preparation, this drug can be administered through an intramuscular or intravenous route.
