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

Piperacillin/Tazobactam is used in adults and adolescents to treat
bacterial infections, such as those
affecting the lower respiratory tract (lungs), urinary tract (kidneys

Piperacillin/Tazobactam is used in children aged 2-12 years to treat
infections of the abdomen such as
appendicitis, peritonitis (infection o
