Welcef SB 1000mg/500mg Injection is a combination of Ceftazidime and Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Ceftazidime works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, a protective structure essential for bacterial survival. This disruption weakens the cell wall, ultimately causing bacterial cell death. Sulbactam enhances the effectiveness of ceftazidime by inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes, which bacteria produce to resist antibiotics.

Welcef SB 1000mg/500mg Injection contains Ceftazidime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, and Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Ceftazidime works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall, a structure essential for bacterial survival. This disruption weakens the cell wall, leading to the death of the bacteria. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme some bacteria produce that deactivates antibiotics, contributing to drug resistance. Sulbactam helps reduce this resistance while enhancing the effectiveness of Ceftazidime against bacteria. Together, Welcef SB 1000mg/500mg Injection helps treat bacterial infections.
