Pepar 4.5gm Injection

Pepar 4.5gm Injection is a widely used antibiotic medicine designed to treat a range of severe bacterial infections. It contains a combination of Piperacillin (4000mg), a penicillin-type antibiotic, and Tazobactum (500mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination enhances the antibiotic’s effectiveness against resistant bacteria. Pepar Injection is typically administered in hospitals under the supervision of medical professionals. It is especially useful in treating infections of the lungs, urinary tract, skin, abdomen, and bloodstream.

Uses of Pepar 4.5gm Injection

Pepar Injection is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including:

• Lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia)
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Intra-abdominal infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Septicemia (blood infections)
• Gynecological infections

How Pepar 4.5gm Injection Works

Piperacillin works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell walls, which kills the bacteria. Tazobactum protects Piperacillin from enzymes (beta-lactamases) that some bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. Together, they offer a powerful combination to fight both common and resistant bacterial infections.
