Tzactum 4000 mg/500 mg Injection

Tzactum 4000 mg/500 mg Injection is a combination antibiotic medication used for treating a wide range of serious bacterial infections. It contains two active ingredients: Piperacillin (4000mg), a penicillin-class antibiotic that fights bacteria, and Tazobactum (500mg), a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacterial resistance. Tzactum is commonly administered in hospital settings through intravenous infusion, making it suitable for treating life-threatening infections like pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, and sepsis. It is a trusted choice for doctors when rapid bacterial control is needed.

Uses of Tzactum 4000 mg/500 mg Injection

How Tzactum 4000 mg/500 mg Injection Works

Piperacillin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to rupture and die. Tazobactum inhibits enzymes called beta-lactamases that bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. This combination enhances effectiveness and treats infections that are otherwise resistant to antibiotics.
