Cefepime Hydrochloride & Tazobactam Sodium for Injection 281.25mg
Product Introduction
Cefepime Hydrochloride & Tazobactam Sodium 281.25mg Injection is a combination antibiotic used to treat a variety of serious bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against infections in the lungs (e.g., pneumonia), urinary tract, skin, blood, abdomen, and in cases of febrile neutropenia (fever with low white blood cell count). This combination therapy is also used for complicated intra-abdominal infections and other hospital-acquired infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria.
The combination of Cefepime Hydrochloride, a fourth-generation cephalosporin, and Tazobactam Sodium, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, works synergistically to target a broad range of bacteria. Cefepime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Tazobactam prevents bacteria from breaking down Cefepime, making it more effective against resistant strains. This dual action helps to fight infections that would otherwise be difficult to treat with a single antibiotic.
