Marzon Duo 6 Tablet (Sultamicillin tosilate 750mg)

About Marzon Duo Tablet 

Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s belongs to the group of antibiotics called ‘penicillin’ used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is a ‘broad-spectrum antibiotic‘ which treat various bacterial infections of the middle ear and sinus infections, throat or lung respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, soft tissue infections, joint and bone infections and post-operative infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.

Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s contains two penicillin antibiotics namely: Ampicillin and Sulbactam. Ampicillin acts by destroying the outer protein layer thereby killing the bacteria (bactericidal). Sulbactam inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase that prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of ampicillin. As a result, action of sulbactam allows ampicillin to work better and kill the bacteria. Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s does not work against infections caused by virus including cold and flu.

Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s is available in the form of tablets and syrup. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s is a mutual prodrug of two medicines: Ampicillin and Sulbactam. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which covers a very wide range of bacterial infections. Ampicillin is a penicillin antibiotic and shows bactericidal (kills bacteria) activity. It works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections. Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s has the advantage of having Sulbactam which protects Ampicillin from getting destroyed by the bacterial enzyme increasing its efficacy. Besides this, it helps overcome antibiotic resistance in bacteria caused by the enzyme which destroys ampicillin (beta-lactamase). This makes the drug effective in multiple infections like skin and soft tissue infections (bacterial infections), urinary tract infections, female genital infections (gonorrhoea), ear infections, respiratory tract infections, infections of nose, sinuses and throat, and postoperative infections. After oral administration, Marzon Duo Tablet 6’s is hydrolyzed in the intestine and increases the absorption in the bloodstream as ampicillin and sulbactam and decreases the chances of diarrhea and dysentery.
