Saltum DS Tablet 6's belongs to the group of antibiotics called 'penicillin' used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a 'broad-spectrum antibiotic' that treats various bacterial infections of the middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, joint and bone infections, and post-operative infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.
Saltum DS Tablet 6's contains two penicillin antibiotics namely: Ampicillin and Sulbactam. Ampicillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal). Sulbactam inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of ampicillin. As a result, the action of sulbactam allows ampicillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Saltum DS Tablet 6's does not work against infections caused by viruses including colds and flu.
