Bricef-CF
Broad-spectrum antibiotic for bacterial infections
Bricef CF is a combination antibiotic containing cefoperazone and sulbactam, effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.
Bricef CF is a potent antibiotic combining cefoperazone, a third-generation cephalosporin, with sulbactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination enhances its effectiveness against resistant bacteria by preventing bacterial cell wall synthesis and inhibiting beta-lactamase enzymes that degrade antibiotics. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly for serious infections.
Manufactured under strict quality standards, Bricef CF is widely used in hospitals for its broad-spectrum activity and reliable efficacy. It is particularly effective for infections caused by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics.
Key Benefits:
- Broad-spectrum coverage against resistant bacteria
- Effective for severe infections in various body systems
- Enhanced efficacy due to sulbactam’s beta-lactamase inhibition
- Suitable for hospital-acquired infections
- Clinically proven safety and effectiveness
