Sultamicillin 375 mg

Sultamicillin 375 mg

Sultamicillin 375 mg is a potent oral antibiotic that combines ampicillin and sulbactam to effectively combat a wide range of bacterial infections. This combination enhances the antibiotic spectrum, making it effective against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria that are resistant to ampicillin alone. Sultamicillin is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and gynecological infections. Sultamicillin 375 mg is a broad-spectrum oral antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections effectively. It is a mutual prodrug of ampicillin and sulbactam, formulated in a 2:1 ratio to overcome resistance from beta-lactamase-producing bacteria. This makes it highly effective against infections that do not respond to ampicillin alone.
