CEFOPERAZONE+TAZOBACTAM belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as gynaecological infections, urinary tract infections, post-operative infections, meningitis (inflammation of brain and spinal cord), biliary infections, septicaemia, infections in immune-compromised patients, skin and soft tissue infections, and bone and joint infections.
CEFOPERAZONE+TAZOBACTAM contains Cefoperazone and Tazobactam. Cefoperazone kills bacteria by inhibiting nucleopeptide synthesis in the bacterial cell wall. Tazobactam reduces bacterial resistance and enhances the activity of Cefoperazone against bacteria. Together, CEFOPERAZONE+TAZOBACTAM helps to treat bacterial infections.
In some cases, CEFOPERAZONE+TAZOBACTAM may cause side effects such as pain and inflammation at the site of injection, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. These side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety and efficacy of CEFOPERAZONE+TAZOBACTAM in children below 12 years has not been established. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. Generalized symptoms of bacterial infection include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. However, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
