Lazocin Forte 4000mg/500mg Injection

Lazocin Forte 4000mg/500mg Injection is a powerful combination antibiotic used for treating serious bacterial infections. It contains Piperacillin (4000mg), a penicillin-class antibiotic, and Tazobactum (500mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination provides broad-spectrum coverage against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including resistant strains. Lazocin Forte is typically used in hospital settings to treat conditions such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and sepsis. Administered intravenously, it ensures quick action and effective bacterial elimination in critical infections.

How Lazocin Forte 4000mg/500mg Injection works

Lazocin Forte works by combining two components.

Together, they offer a potent defense against even resistant bacterial strains.
