TAZOBACTAM+MEROPENEM belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Symptoms include fever, chills, and fatigue.
TAZOBACTAM+MEROPENEM contains Meropenem and Tazobactam. Meropenem prevents the formation of bacterial cell walls, which is necessary for their survival. Tazobactam prevents the breakdown of Meropenem by blocking the beta-lactamase enzyme produced by bacteria. Together, TAZOBACTAM+MEROPENEM helps treat bacterial infection.
In some cases, TAZOBACTAM+MEROPENEM may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, consult your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in TAZOBACTAM+MEROPENEM. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is when harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. Generalised 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.
