Piczar Injection

Piczar Injection is a powerful antibiotic medicine that combines Piperacillin (4000mg) and Tazobactum (500mg) to treat a variety of severe bacterial infections. It is used primarily in hospital settings and administered through intravenous infusion by healthcare professionals. Piperacillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic, while Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances its effectiveness. Piczar Injection is effective in managing infections of the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, and bloodstream. It is especially useful in treating resistant bacterial infections and critical care cases.

Uses of Piczar Injection

Piczar Injection is prescribed for treating serious bacterial infections, including:

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

How Piczar Injection Works

Piperacillin disrupts the formation of bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to die. Tazobactum blocks enzymes (beta-lactamases) that normally destroy antibiotics like Piperacillin. Together, they offer a broader and more effective antibacterial action, especially against resistant bacterial strains.

Benefits of Piczar Injection

• Broad-spectrum coverage against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
• Effective in treating antibiotic-resistant infections
• Quick action in critical bacterial infections
• Reduces infection-related complications
• Suitable for use in intensive care units and hospitals

How to Take Piczar Injection

Piczar Injection is administered by a doctor or nurse through intravenous (IV) infusion. The dosage and frequency are based on the severity of infection, age, body weight, and kidney function of the patient. It is generally given every 6 to 8 hours. Do not self-administer this medication. Always complete the full course of treatment as advised by your healthcare provider to ensure full recovery and prevent antibiotic resistance.
