How it works
Duocef 3gm Injection is an antibiotic that works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of the bacteria. Sulbactam, the beta-lactamase inhibitor, helps inactivate the beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. These enzymes prevent the breakdown of cefoperazone, enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.
