PROTAXIME-S 1.5

PROTAXIME-S 1.5 is a member of the class of drugs known as “antibiotics,” which are used to treat bacterial infections. The growth of dangerous bacteria on or inside the body is what causes bacterial illnesses. Toxins are substances produced by these dangerous bacteria that can cause tissue damage and illness. Depending on the organ that the bacteria are infecting, different symptoms may appear.

CEFOTAXIME 1GM+SULBACTAM 500MG are the two medications that make up PROTAXIME-S 1.5. Sulbactam with Cefotaxime. One cephalosporin antibiotic is cefotaxime. It destroys microorganisms through its bactericidal activity. It functions by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins, which stops the bacteria from forming their cell wall—the outer protective coat that is vital to their existence. Beta-lactamase is inhibited by sulbactam. Bacteria create an enzyme called beta-lactamase that can break down antibiotics like cefotaxime.
