TAZOCURE INJECTION is a fixed-dose combination of cefepime and tazobactam which belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics. It is used to manage several bacterial infections like lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbation causing breathing difficulties, urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis, skin infections, abdominal and biliary tract infections, vaginal infections, bacteraemia, and bacterial meningitis in infants and children.
TAZOCURE INJECTION is also used along with other antibacterial agents in the management of neutropenia caused by bacterial infection. Pneumonia is an infection that causes inflammation in the air sac, producing a cough with phlegm and shortness of breath. Pyelonephritis is a urinary tract infection affecting the urinary bladder that later spreads to the kidneys.
Bacteremia is an infectious condition indicating the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. Bacterial meningitis is an infection caused by bacteria in the region surrounding the brain. Neutropenic means low levels of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in our body.
TAZOCURE INJECTION should not be used in patients allergic to penicillin antibiotics, cefepime, tazobactam and other beta-lactam antibiotics.

How TAZOCURE INJECTION Works
TAZOCURE INJECTION works by destroying the bacterial growth responsible for causing infections. TAZOCURE INJECTION has two antibiotics cefepime a cephalosporin antibiotic and tazobactam a beta-lactam antibiotic. Cefepime works by interrupting wall formation by binding with the enzymes responsible for cell wall synthesis. This binding causes defects in the cell wall leading to cell death and causing the death of the organism. Tazobactam present in TAZOCURE INJECTION is responsible for the irreversible termination of enzymbeta-lactamasesases) that protect the organism from antibiotics. Tazobactam produces fewer anti-bacterial actions when given alone so it’s always used in combination with other antibiotics. Thus, both substances work by managing cell growth and function inhibit biting bacterial growth.
