How Tazocef 250/31.25 MG Injection 1 Works?

Tazocef 250/31.25 MG Injection 1 consists of two active ingredients:

Ceftriaxone (250 mg): This component is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has bactericidal activity. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. It binds to proteins in the bacteria which are responsible for forming the cell wall (known as penicillin-binding proteins or PBPs), disrupting their function and leading to the death of the bacteria.
Tazobactam (31.25 mg): This component acts as a beta-lactamase inhibitor which protects ceftriaxone from being broken down by certain enzymes produced by resistant bacteria. By stopping these enzymes from working, tazobactam helps ceftriaxone maintain its effectiveness against beta-lactamase-producing strains of bacteria.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Tazocef 250/31.25 MG Injection 1 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
