About Imicef TZ 1000mg/125mg Injection

CEFTRIAXONE+TAZOBACTAM belongs to a class of medication called 'antibiotics' used to treat several bacterial infections of the urinary tract, blood, bones and joints, heart, brain, chest, ears, skin or soft tissues. The bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiple very quickly. CEFTRIAXONE+TAZOBACTAM does not work against infections caused by the virus.

CEFTRIAXONE+TAZOBACTAM is a combination of two drugs: Ceftriaxone (antibiotic) and Tazobactum (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Ceftriaxone belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) necessary for their survival. Thereby damages the bacterial cell wall and kills bacteria. Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of ceftriaxone and decreases resistance.
