CRITUF 4000MG/500MG INJECTION

CRITUF 4000mg/500mg Injection is a powerful antibiotic combination used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections. It contains Piperacillin (4000mg), a broad-spectrum penicillin-class antibiotic, and Tazobactum (500mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Together, they target a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including drug-resistant strains. CRITUF is typically used in hospital settings to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sepsis. It is administered intravenously, ensuring rapid relief in critical care and emergency cases.

How CRITUF 4000mg/500mg Injection works

CRITUF works by combining two active ingredients.

This synergy allows the medicine to act effectively against resistant bacterial infections.
