Zexpar SL works by combining two antibiotics that target bacteria. Sulbactam helps prevent bacteria from breaking down Cefoperazone, allowing it to work more effectively. This combination helps to kill bacteria and stop their growth.

Cefoperazone is a type of cephalosporin antibiotic that disrupts the formation of the bacterial cell wall. This action leads to the death of the bacteria, making it effective against various infections. Sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, protects Cefoperazone from being destroyed by certain bacteria that produce enzymes to resist antibiotics.
