Benefits
Ceftriaxone, an antibiotic, and Tazobactum, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, are combined to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria that grow in the presence of oxygen and those that grow in the absence of it. It prevents the bacterial cell wall—a protective covering—from forming, which is essential to their survival. Consequently, bacteria are killed and their cell walls are damaged. As a beta-lactamase inhibitor, tazobactum increases ceftriaxone’s effectiveness and reduces resistance.
