Sultamicillin Tosilate

Description

Sultamicillin Tosilate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is a combination of two drugs: ampicillin and sulbactam. Sulbactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that works by inhibiting the action of enzymes produced by bacteria that can break down ampicillin. This combination enhances the antibacterial effectiveness of ampicillin, allowing it to work more effectively against a wider range of bacteria, including those resistant to ampicillin alone. The tosylate salt is the form in which the drug is commonly marketed for oral and intravenous administration.
