CEFOPROX XP 500MG INJECTION Substitute

CEFOPROX XP 500MG INJECTION contains Ceftriaxone and Tazobactum. Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of ceftriaxone and decreases resistance.
