Cepizon-T 1.125G Injection
PRODUCT DETAILS
About Cepizon-T 1.125G Injection
CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.
CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM is a combination of two medicines: Cefepime and Tazobactam. Cefepime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It has bactericidal action (kills bacteria). It works by preventing the formation of the cell wall (the outer protective layer of bacteria, which is essential for its survival) by preventing protein synthesis. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It can improve the spectrum of antibacterial action by inhibiting the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime). CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM is only used to treat bacterial infections and not recommended for viral infections.

In-Depth Precautions and Warning
Drug Warnings
CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM should be used with caution in patients with kidney impairment. There is a risk of serious adverse events such as confusion, hallucinations, stupor (a state of near-unconsciousness), and seizures (fits). CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM may cause Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea (CDAD), ranging from mild diarrhoea to fatal colitis (inflammation of the large intestine). If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, the doctor may discontinue therapy and advise appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, and antibiotic therapy to treat CDAD. A CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM may cause positive direct Coomb’s test, which indicates antibodies against red blood cells. So, it is necessary to let your doctor know that you are taking this medicine before undergoing laboratory tests. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria become resistant to antibiotics. CEFEPIME+TAZOBACTAM may cause superinfection (additional infection caused by other microbes) on prolonged use.
