Ceftasul 1.5 gm 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, Ceftasul 1.5 gm Injection helps treat bacterial infections.
