Contents of the pack and other information 1. WHAT PIPERACILLIN/TAZOBACTAM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Piperacillin/Tazobactam contains piperacillin and tazobactam, which belong to the group of medicines known as penicillins, including beta-lactamase inhibitors. Piperacillin belongs to the group of medicines known as “broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotics”. It can kill many kinds of bacteria. Tazobactam can prevent some resistant bacteria from surviving the effects of piperacillin. This means that when piperacillin and tazobactam are given together, more types of bacteria are killed. Piperacillin/Tazobactam is used in adults and adolescents to treat bacterial infections, such as those affecting the lower respiratory tract (lungs), urinary tract (kidneys and bladder), abdomen, skin or blood. Piperacillin/Tazobactam may be used to treat bacterial infections in patients with low white blood cell counts (reduced resistance to infections). Piperacillin/Tazobactam is used in children aged 2-12 years to treat infections of the abdomen such as appendicitis, per সম্পূর্ণ নথি পড়ুন
