How it works
Ceftriaxone works by interfering with certain processes that help the bacteria to grow and increase in number. Sulbactam inhibits some chemicals produced by the bacteria and makes the bacteria more sensitive to ceftriaxone activity. Their combination thus becomes effective against an extended range of bacteria.
