How it works:
Supercef's primary ingredient, ceftriaxone, is an antibiotic that kills bacteria.
It attaches to proteins in the bacterial cell wall, stopping the cell wall from being made.
This causes the bacteria's cells to break open and die.
It works against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and many beta-lactamases (enzymes that break down penicillin) can't break it down.
