About Ceftriaxone+disodium Edetate+sulbactam
Ceftriaxone+disodium Edetate+sulbactam belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics. It is used to treat life-threatening infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection.
Ceftriaxone+disodium Edetate+sulbactam contains ceftriaxone (third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic), Disodium Edetate (an Antibiotic Resistance Breaker), and Sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ceftriaxone works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for their survival. Thereby damaging the bacterial cell wall and killing bacteria.

Medicinal Benefits
Ceftriaxone+disodium Edetate+sulbactam contains ceftriaxone (third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic), Disodium Edetate, and Sulbactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ceftriaxone+disodium Edetate+sulbactam is a unique and patented anti-infective product that is primarily used to treat potentially fatal illnesses caused by gram-negative bacteria. Ceftriaxone works by preventing the production of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering required for survival). As a result, the bacterial cell wall is damaged, and the organism (bacteria) is killed. Disodium Edetate and Sulbactam function by lowering bacterial resistance and increasing Ceftizoxime action against bacteria.
