HOW MONOBACT 375MG INJECTION WORKS

MONOBACT 375MG INJECTION helps to manage infections, where Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to destruction of the bacteria, and Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that works by binding and inhibiting beta-lactamase (an enzyme that destroys antibiotic activity) produced by bacterial cells and thereby manages the reduction in antibacterial activity.
