Your doctor has prescribed piperacillin and tazobactam, an antibiotic, to help treat your infection. The drug will be added to an intravenous fluid that will drip through a needle or catheter placed in your vein for 30 minutes, three or four times a day. The combination of piperacillin and tazobactam eliminates bacteria that cause many kinds of infections, including pneumonia and skin, gastrointestinal tract, and gynecological infections. Piperacillin Sodium and Tazobactam Sodium Injection is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information. Your health care provider (doctor, nurse, or pharmacist) may measure the effectiveness and side effects of your treatment using laboratory tests and physical examinations. It is important to keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. The length of treatment depends on how your infection and symptoms respond to the medication.
