Piperacillin 4000 mg + Tazobactam 500 mg: Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Combination
Description:
Piperacillin 4000 mg + Tazobactam 500 mg is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections, including those of the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, and bloodstream. Piperacillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin-type antibiotic that kills bacteria, while Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from resisting the antibiotic’s effects. This combination enhances antibacterial activity against resistant strains.
How to Use:
This medication is administered intravenously (IV) by a healthcare professional. The usual dosing schedule is every 6–8 hours, depending on the severity of the infection and kidney function.
The IV infusion should be given over 20–30 minutes. Do not self-administer. Follow your doctor’s instructions closely, and complete the full course, even if symptoms improve early, to avoid antibiotic resistance.
