Infections of the bones and joints (osteomyelitis, septic arthritis)

Infections of the abdomen (peritonitis)

Infections of the bloodstream (bacteremia, sepsis)

Infections in patients with weakened immune systems

Ceftriaxone and tazobactam work together to kill bacteria. Ceftriaxone blocks the formation of bacterial cell walls, which is essential for bacterial survival. Tazobactam prevents bacteria from producing an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that can break down ceftriaxone, making the antibiotic more effective.

Store ceftriaxone and tazobactam at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of ceftriaxone and tazobactam depends on the type of infection being treated, the severity of the infection, and the patient's age, weight, and kidney function.
