CEFOKEM XP 1GM Injection – Advanced Antibiotic for Comprehensive Bacterial Infection Management

CEFOKEM XP 1GM Injection is a potent combination of Cefoperazone and Sulbactam, designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. This injectable antibiotic is highly effective against infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints, bloodstream, and genital organs. Its dual-action formulation not only kills bacteria but also enhances antibiotic efficacy by reducing bacterial resistance.

Benefits

• Rapidly controls bacterial infections and prevents their spread

• Supports recovery in serious and complicated infections

How It Works

• Cefoperazone disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, rendering bacteria vulnerable and leading to their destruction.

• Sulbactam inhibits bacterial enzymes that could otherwise destroy Cefoperazone, enhancing its antibacterial action.
  Together, they provide a strong defense against resistant bacterial strains.
