Product Introduction

Biotum TZ Injection is a combination antibiotic indicated for treatment of a wide range of serious bacterial infections. It contains Cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, and Tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. This combination addresses resistant bacteria responsible for severe infections in the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, blood, and skin. This medicine is typically administered in hospital settings under supervision of healthcare professionals. It is often prescribed for complicated or resistant infections unresponsive to standard antibiotics. Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have allergy to cephalosporins, penicillins, or any antibiotics. Patients with kidney disease, liver problems, or seizures may require dose adjustments and careful monitoring.

Uses

Biotum TZ Injection is used to treat: Pneumonia (including hospital-acquired infections) Complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) Abdominal infections Bloodstream infections (sepsis) Skin and soft tissue infections

How it works

Cefotaxime works by stopping bacteria from forming their protective cell wall, leading to bacterial death. Tazobactam prevents bacterial enzymes (beta-lactamases) from destroying the antibiotic, making Cefotaxime more effective.

Side Effects

Common side effects: Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset Headache or dizziness Fever Pain or redness at the injection site Diarrhea Serious side effects (seek medical help immediately): Severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) Liver enzyme changes Seizures (rare) Severe diarrhoea with blood.
