How it works
Cefrine Plus Injection is a combination of Ceftriaxone and Sulbactam.
Ceftriaxone works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell walls. This helps in stopping the growth and multiplication of the bacteria and eventually kills them.
Sulbactam inhibits some chemicals produced by the bacteria and makes them more sensitive to ceftriaxone activity.
