Piperacillin And Tazobactum Injection

Piperacillin And Tazobactum Injection is available with the brand name “SULTALIL- 4.5” and is a combination of antibiotics to treat infections caused by bacteria. The drug is effective against several infections, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, abdominal infections, diabetic foot infections, and uterine infections. Bacterial infections are infections resulting from the invasion of the body by harmful bacteria that cause illness and can spread very fast.

Piperacillin And Tazobactum Injection is a combination of two medicines, Piperacillin which acts as a penicillin-type antibiotic and Tazobactam which acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Piperacillin works by killing bacteria and stopping the growth of bacteria, while Tazobactam prevents bacteria from destroying Piperacillin to perform their action. Thus, collectively they help in treating the oxygen-requiring and oxygen-insensitive bacteria.
