Ceftriaxone works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It does this by interfering with the bacteria's ability to form cell walls, which are essential for their survival. Without a proper cell wall, bacteria cannot thrive and multiply, leading to their death.

Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It protects Ceftriaxone from being broken down by certain enzymes that bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. This combination allows Ceftriaxone to remain effective against bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.

• Broad-Spectrum Activity — Works against a wide range of bacteria.
• Combination Therapy — Tazobactam helps enhance the effect of Ceftriaxone.
• Effective Against Resistant Bacteria — Useful in treating infections caused by resistant strains.
