CEFIXIME 200 mg + SULBACTAM 150 mg is a combination antibiotic medicine used for the treatment of various bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, ear, throat, lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal system. Cefixime acts by killing infection-causing bacteria, while Sulbactam enhances the effectiveness of Cefixime by preventing bacterial resistance.
