Piperacillin + Tazobactum is a combination antibiotic that contains two active ingredients: Piperacillin: A penicillin-type antibiotic that works by killing bacteria. Tazobactum: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects piperacillin from being broken down by certain bacteria, increasing its effectiveness.

Piperacillin + Tazobactum is prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, including: Severe skin and skin structure infections: Such as cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections. Serious respiratory tract infections: Like pneumonia and bronchitis, especially when caused by resistant bacteria. Infections of the abdomen: Including peritonitis and infections after surgery. Genitourinary infections: Such as pyelonephritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Sepsis: A serious condition caused by the body's response to infection.

Pipazo Inj 2.25gm (Piperacillin + Tazobactum) works by interfering with the synthesis of peptidoglycan, an essential component of bacterial cell walls. This disruption leads to cell wall weakening, eventually causing the bacteria to die. The combination of piperacillin and tazobactum effectively targets a wide range of bacteria, including those that are resistant to piperacillin alone.

Store Piperacillin + Tazobactum at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medication after the expiration date printed on the label.
