TAZOMAC PS Injection 1.125 GM – Product Overview
TAZOMAC PS Injection 1.125 GM is a combination antibiotic designed to combat a wide range of bacterial infections. It contains Piperacillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic, and Tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the efficacy of Piperacillin by protecting it from bacterial resistance mechanisms. This potent formulation is especially effective against infections acquired in hospitals and those associated with ventilator use. Administered intravenously by trained healthcare professionals, TAZOMAC PS Injection targets the bacteria responsible for severe infections while minimizing the risk of complications. Completing the full course as prescribed is essential to prevent recurrence and bacterial resistance.
Uses
TAZOMAC PS Injection 1.125 GM is prescribed for a variety of serious bacterial infections, including:
-
Respiratory infections – hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia
-
Urinary tract infections – kidney and bladder infections
-
Intra-abdominal infections – including peritonitis and post-surgical infections
-
Skin and soft tissue infections – diabetic foot infections, surgical wounds, and cellulitis
-
Gynecological infections – pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and uterine infections
Benefits
-
Broad-spectrum antibacterial action – targets both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

Rapid infection control – helps patients recover quickly when administered appropriately

How It Works
-
Piperacillin: Kills bacteria by binding to penicillin-binding proteins in the bacterial cell wall, preventing its synthesis and causing bacterial cell death
-
Tazobactam: Inhibits beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria, protecting Piperacillin and maintaining its antibacterial action
Administration
TAZOMAC PS Injection 1.125 GM is administered under medical supervision via intravenous infusion. Self-administration is not recommended. Dosage is determined by the type and severity of infection and patient-specific factors such as kidney and liver function. The first dose is typically administered by a healthcare professional, and they may guide patients on subsequent doses if self-administration is required.
