How Assertum Products work
Cefoperazone + Sulbactam is a combination of two medicines: Cefoperazone + Sulbactam1 and Cefoperazone + Sulbactam2. Cefoperazone + Sulbactam1 is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Cefoperazone + Sulbactam2 is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefoperazone + Sulbactam1 against bacteria.
