MEGAZID XP 562.5MG INJ

Product Introduction

Megazid XP 562.5 mg Injection is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is a combination of Ceftriaxone (500 mg), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria, and Sulbactam (62.5 mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from developing resistance against the antibiotic. This combination makes the treatment more effective, even in resistant infections.
