Amazecef-S

General information

Benefits and working of AMAZECEF-S injection:- 

AMAZECEF-S is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam. 

• Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has a bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for survival) by preventing protein synthesis.

• Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (ceftriaxone).

AMAZECEF-S is used for bacterial infections. Including infections of the bloodstream (septicemia), bones (osteomyelitis), the heart valves (endocarditis), the membrane protecting the brain (meningitis), acute bacterial otitis media (infection of the middle ear) and the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) and to prevent and treat infections following surgeries.
