How Azactum Injection Works:
Azactum 1 gm Injection contains Aztreonam, a type of monobactam antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for bacterial survival. Without this protective covering, bacteria cannot thrive, and they are effectively killed, helping to resolve the infection.
