Product Introduction
PT Max 4.5gm injection contains piperacillin and tazobactam, which are broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotics and beta-lactamase inhibitors. Piperacillin with tazobactam is used to eliminate many types of harmful bacteria in the body. When piperacillin is given together with tazobactam, it demonstrates greater efficacy against certain resistant bacteria. This medicine treats bacterial infections in the lower respiratory tract, urinary tract, abdomen, skin, or blood in adults and adolescents. PT Max 4.5gm injection also treats bacterial infections in children aged 2–12 years, particularly abdominal infections such as appendicitis, peritonitis, and gallbladder infections. Additionally, it is used in patients with low white blood cell counts and in those with weakened immune systems. In certain serious infections, doctors may use it alongside other antibiotics to manage infection effectively. This medicine should not be used in children under 2 years of age due to insufficient data on safety and effectiveness in this age group. Do not use PT Max 4.5gm injection if you are allergic to piperacillin, tazobactam, penicillins, cephalosporins, other beta-lactamase inhibitors, or any of its ingredients. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have low potassium levels, liver or kidney issues, or are undergoing haemodialysis, as monitoring may be required. Your doctor may perform regular blood tests during treatment. If you are taking anticoagulants or experience unexpected bleeding, inform your healthcare professional immediately. Notify your healthcare professional if you have convulsions or suspect new or worsening infection during treatment. Be aware of haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a condition involving excessive white blood cell production, and contact your doctor immediately if you experience fever, swollen glands, weakness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, bruising, or skin rash. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant or breastfeeding.

How it works
