Vibotaz 4.5 Injection contains Piperacillin 4 g + Tazobactam 0.5 g. It comes in a pack of 1.

Piperacillin works by stopping the formation of the bacterial cell wall, so susceptible bacteria are killed. Tazobactam has little action on bacteria by itself, but it blocks certain beta-lactamase enzymes that bacteria produce to destroy penicillins. By holding these enzymes in check, it allows Piperacillin to keep working against such organisms.

Must not be used by patients with a history of allergic reactions to any penicillin, cephalosporin or beta-lactamase inhibitor. Check with a doctor first if there is kidney disease, a bleeding disorder, or if blood thinners or other strong medicines are being taken. Check with a doctor first if any rash appears or gets worse during treatment. Check with a doctor first during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
