Ceftradoc-TZ Injection (1.125g)

Overview:
Ceftradoc-TZ Injection is a combination of two antibiotics: Ceftriaxone (1g) and Tazobactam (125mg). It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, especially serious or hospital-acquired infections. The injection works by killing bacteria and preventing them from becoming resistant to antibiotics.

Uses:

• Respiratory tract infections (like pneumonia)
• Urinary tract infections
• Infections of the skin and soft tissues
• Abdominal infections
• Bone and joint infections
• Bloodstream infections
• Post-surgical infections

How It Works:

• Ceftriaxone: A third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that kills bacteria by weakening their cell wall.
• Tazobactam: A beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents certain bacteria from resisting the effects of ceftriaxone.
