Cefoperazone and Sulbactam Injection is sold under the brand name “CefotaMed ” It is an antibiotic used to treat different kinds of bacterial infections, including lung infections, urinary tract infections, blood infections, meningitis (swelling of the brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (a sexually transmitted disease), as well as infections of the skin, stomach, bones, and joints. Germs or bad bacteria can make you ill and multiply fast inside your body. These bad bacteria make substances called toxins that can hurt your body and make you feel unwell. It doesn’t help with infections from viruses, like colds and the flu.

Cefoperazone helps stop bacteria from making their outer layer, which they need to stay alive. This kills the bacteria. On the other hand, sulbactam helps to lower bacterial resistance and boosts how well cefoperazone fights bacteria.
