Piperacillin/Tazobactam
Piperacillin/Tazobactam is a combination antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It consists of Piperacillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic that fights bacteria, and Tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Piperacillin from being broken down by certain bacteria. This combination enhances the effectiveness of the antibiotic against resistant strains.
This medication is commonly administered intravenously and is effective against a wide range of infections, including those in the lungs, skin, and urinary tract. It is often used in hospital settings for serious infections, particularly when the specific bacteria causing the infection are unknown.
