Tazocef

Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum is a combination of two medicines: Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum1 and Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum2. Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum1 is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum2 is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftriaxone + Tazobactum1 against bacteria.
