Matabac Inj 1gm (Sulbactam) acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria that break down beta-lactam antibiotics (like ampicillin), rendering them ineffective. By inhibiting these enzymes, sulbactam protects the combined antibiotic (e.g., ampicillin) from degradation, allowing it to effectively kill bacteria.
