Mode of Action of Tazact 4.5gm Dry Vial Of 1 Powder For Injection
How Does It Work?
- Tazact 4.5gm injection contains a combination of piperacillin and tazobactam as active substances.
- Piperacillin binds to certain proteins in the bacteria called penicillin-binding proteins that are required for the proper development of the bacterial cell wall. This causes the formation of defective cell walls in the bacteria which leads to bacterial death. However, bacteria make an enzyme called beta-lactamase which can destroy piperacillin....
- Tazobactam inactivates this enzyme and helps piperacillin to function optimally.
