CompositionDURATAZ 4.5g Injection is used to manage a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the penicillin class of antibiotics and combines piperacillin with tazobactam, which helps overcome resistance in certain bacteria.
Piperacillin works by stopping bacteria from building their protective cell wall, killing them, while tazobactam blocks an enzyme that some bacteria use to destroy piperacillin, extending its effectiveness against a wider range of resistant infections.
This injection is given into a vein by a healthcare professional, at the dose and frequency your doctor determines based on the type and severity of infection.
Tell your doctor if you have a known allergy to penicillins. Report persistent loose motions (diarrhoea), as this can occasionally indicate a more serious antibiotic-related bowel condition needing medical review.
