Salzon Injection is a powerful antibacterial broad-spectrum medicine prescribed for severe bacterial infections across various parts of the body. Containing Defoperazone and Sulbactam, it offers a dual-action approach: killing bacteria and preventing them from resisting the antibiotic. Widely used in hospitals and clinics, Salzon Injection is ideal for infections of the urinary tract, stomach, skin, respiratory system, and for post-surgical infection prevention. It works quickly to restore health and prevent complications from untreated bacterial infections.
🧪 Composition
- Defoperazone – kills bacteria by disrupting their cell wall
