How Sulkav Duo Tablet Works

Sulkav Duo Tablet works through a dual-action mechanism. The first component is an antibiotic that directly attacks bacteria by preventing them from building their protective outer cell walls, which causes them to burst and die. The second component acts as a shield. Some bacteria produce protective enzymes that destroy antibiotics before they can work. This shield component blocks those enzymes, allowing the antibiotic to do its job effectively even against resistant bacteria.
