PIPRATECH-4.5
PIPERACILLIN 4GM + TAZOBACTAM 500MG
PIPRATECH-4.5 injectable belongs to the ‘Antibiotics’ class of drugs and is commonly used to treat bacterial infections. It treats urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, diabetic foot infections, uterine infections, and a variety of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonias. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria multiply within the body and cause illness. It reproduces fast and can infect any part of the body.
PIPRATECH-4.5 gm injection contains two medications: Tazobactam, also known as a beta-lactamase inhibitor, and piperacillin, an antibiotic. Piperacillin belongs to the “penicillin antibiotics” class. It can destroy both gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic (oxygen-dependent) and anaerobic (oxygen-independent) microorganisms. Piperacillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) within the cell wall.
Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are the enzymes produced by bacteria to develop resistance to β-lactam antibiotics such as cephalosporins and penicillin. Tazobactam prevents bacteria that develop the beta-lactamase enzyme from breaking down other antibiotics. Tazobactam in PIPRATECH-4.5 gm injectable prevents germs from breaking down piperacillin.
