Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Omnibact Forte Injection acts by killing the bacteria responsible for infections. However, bacteria make an enzyme (beta-lactamases), which can destroy cefoperazone. Sulbactam inactivates this enzyme and hence helps cefoperazone to function optimally.

Pharmacokinets

The human pharmacology of cefoperazone is similar to cephazolin in terms of serum concentrations, half-life, protein binding, and apparent volume of distribution, but markedly different in terms of biliary and renal excretion.Sulbactam, a new beta-lactamase inhibitor, has pharmacokinetic characteristics in humans similar to those of ampicillin and amoxicillin. Its half-life in humans is approximately 1 h.
