Description
Ceftriaxone 1000mg + Tazobactam 125 Injection
Ceftriaxone + Tazobactam is a type of medication known as ‘antibiotics’ that is suggested to cure various bacterial infections of the blood, bones and joints, heart, brain, urinary tract, chest, ears, skin, or soft tissues. A bacterial infection is an illness in which harmful bacteria develop in the body and infect it. It can infect any organ of the body and grow very rapidly. Ceftriaxone + Tazobactam is not effective against infections caused by the virus.
Ceftriaxone + Tazobactam is a drug combination of two medications: Ceftriaxone (an antibiotic) and Tazobactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ceftriaxone is related to a category of antibiotics that function by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective layer) required for their survival. Thus, destroying the bacterial cell wall kills bacteria. Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that increases the effectiveness of ceftriaxone and reduces resistance.
Benefits:
- Ceftriaxone (antibiotic) and Tazobactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor) are combined to cure various bacterial infections.
- Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
- They disrupt the development of the bacterial cell wall required for their survival by harming the bacterial cell wall and destroying bacteria.
- Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that has synergistic action with ceftriaxone and reduces resistance.
