pipracillin + tazobactum 4.5 gm injection

Product Description

Piperacillin + Tazobactam 4.5 gm injection is a combination antibiotic containing 4 grams of piperacillin and 0.5 grams of tazobactam. It is a powerful medication used to treat a wide range of moderate to severe bacterial infections.

How it Works

• Piperacillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to form cell walls.
• Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases that can break down penicillin antibiotics, making them ineffective. Tazobactam blocks these enzymes, allowing piperacillin to work effectively against a broader spectrum of bacteria, including many that are resistant to penicillin alone.

Common Uses

This combination injection is used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, including:

• Lower respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia (including hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia).
• Urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated).
• Intra-abdominal infections, such as appendicitis and peritonitis.
• Skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic foot infections.
• Gynecological infections, such as endometritis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
• Septicemia (bloodstream infections).
• It may also be used in combination with other antibiotics to treat infections in patients with neutropenia (low white blood cell count).
