What is the Working Mechanism of Amoxycillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium Injection?
The Mode of Action of Amoxycillin Sodium and Sulbactam Sodium Injection is given below as follows:
The Injection works by offering dual-mechanism therapy. Amoxycillin interferes with the final stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis, causing the cell wall to rupture and the bacteria to die.
Sulbactam has weak antibacterial activity, but it is a potent inhibitor of beta-lactamase enzymes. It binds to these enzymes, preventing them from inactivating amoxycillin. This protective action allows amoxycillin to remain active and effectively kill the bacteria that would otherwise be resistant.
