Tazoren 4.5 gm Injection

Tazoren 4.5 gm Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat various serious bacterial infections. It contains Piperacillin (4000 mg), a penicillin-type antibiotic, and Tazobactum (500 mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the effectiveness of Piperacillin. This combination works together to combat both mild and severe infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Tazoren is commonly administered in hospitals through intravenous injection and is highly effective in treating infections in the lungs, abdomen, urinary tract, skin, and bloodstream.

Uses of Tazoren 4.5 gm Injection

• Lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pneumonia)

How Tazoren 4.5 gm Injection Works

Tazoren works by combining two agents: Piperacillin, which kills bacteria by damaging their cell walls, and Tazobactum, which protects Piperacillin from being broken down by resistant bacteria. This powerful combination allows Tazoren to fight a wide range of bacteria effectively, even those that are hard to treat with standard antibiotics.
