Piperacillin with tazobactam is a combination antibiotic given as a drip into a vein. Piperacillin is a penicillin-type antibiotic that kills many kinds of bacteria (broad-spectrum). Tazobactam is a helper (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) that stops some bacteria from breaking down piperacillin, so it keeps working against germs that would otherwise resist it. It is a prescription medicine that doctors and nurses give, mostly in hospital, for serious infections. WHO places it in its 'Watch' group of antibiotics, which should be used carefully to slow down resistance.
- Serious chest and lung infections, such as pneumonia
- Urine (urinary tract) infections
- Infections inside the tummy (abdomen), such as appendicitis, peritonitis or gallbladder infections
- Skin infections
- Infections in the blood
- Fever in people with a very low white blood cell count (neutropenia), where an infection is suspected
