Tazobact 4gm/500mg Injection is an injection made by Jinnah Pharma that contains Piperacillin + Tazobactam 4g, a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic given by injection. It is used for serious hospital infections, pneumonia, abdominal infections and blood infections. Pack size: 1 vial injection.

Uses of Tazobact 4gm/500mg Injection

Tazobact 4gm/500mg Injection is used in hospital to treat serious bacterial infections, including pneumonia caught in hospital, complicated abdominal infections, complicated urinary tract and kidney infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and blood infections. It is also given to people with very low white blood cell counts who develop a fever, where infection is suspected. It does not work against viruses.

How Tazobact 4gm/500mg Injection works

Piperacillin is a penicillin that stops bacteria from building their cell wall, so they break down and die. Tazobactam blocks beta-lactamase enzymes that some bacteria use to destroy penicillins, allowing piperacillin to work against a wider range of resistant bacteria.

Possible side effects

Tazobact 4gm/500mg Injection is given under close observation, and the more common side effects include:

• Diarrhoea
• Nausea or vomiting
• Rash or itching
• Pain or swelling at the injection site

Tell staff straight away about swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a blistering rash, or severe or bloody diarrhoea, which can occur even weeks after treatment.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given only in hospital or clinic settings by trained healthcare professionals who monitor the patient.
• Do not have it if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin, and tell the team about any reaction to cephalosporins or other antibiotics.
• Tell the medical team about kidney or liver problems, cystic fibrosis or a low-salt diet, and about other medicines such as methotrexate or blood thinners.
• The full course is needed to clear the infection, even if you feel better earlier.
• Let the team know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
