How Pimera Products work
Cefepime + Tazobactum is a combination of two medicines: Cefepime + Tazobactum1 and Cefepime + Tazobactum2. Cefepime + Tazobactum1 is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria in the human body. Cefepime + Tazobactum2 is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which blocks the action of enzymes produced by bacteria to inactivate cefepime. Addition of Cefepime + Tazobactum2 reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefepime + Tazobactum1 against bacteria.
