Completing the full prescribed course is important, even if symptoms improve, to fully clear the infection and prevent resistance.

How Esblocip Injection works

Esblocip 2.5 gm Injection composed of cefepime and enmetazobactam. Cefepime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that kills bacteria by interfering with the formation of their cell walls, causing them to rupture and die. Enmetazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacterial enzymes from breaking down cefepime, making the antibiotic more effective against resistant bacteria. Together, they help fight a wide range of bacterial infections by both killing bacteria and overcoming resistance mechanisms.
