Orcefo SB 3gm Injection contains two active ingredients in one injection. One of the active substances is Cefoperazone, which belongs to the group of medications called third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics. The other active substance is Sulbactam, which belongs to the group of medications called beta-lactamase inhibitors. 

This combination is effective against a wide range of bacteria, and this drug is commonly used to treat serious infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, septicemia, meningitis, skin infections, bone infections, and endometritis.

Sulbactam, the beta-lactamase inhibitor, helps inactivate the beta-lactamase enzymes produced by certain bacteria. These enzymes prevent the breakdown of cefoperazone, enhancing its effectiveness against resistant bacteria.
