Salzone Injection is a powerful veterinary injectable composed of Cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin, and Sulbactam, a β-lactamase inhibitor. This advanced dual-action formulation targets a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including resistant strains. It is highly effective against mastitis, metritis, pneumonia, enteritis, post-surgical infections, and more, providing fast and reliable recovery for your livestock.
🧪 Composition
- Cefoperazone (Sterile) – Broad-spectrum cephalosporin that disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis
- Sulbactam (Sterile) – β-lactamase inhibitor that enhances Cefoperazone effectiveness against resistant bacteria
- Together, they provide high efficacy in chronic, resistant, and recurring infections.
⚙️ How Salzone Injection Works
- Cefoperazone interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis → rapid bacterial death
- Sulbactam inhibits β-lactamase enzymes → allows Cefoperazone to act even on resistant bacteria
- This synergistic mechanism ensures swift bacterial eradication, faster symptom relief, and lower recurrence risk.
