Xepime-TAZ
Description_Effects
Xepime-TAZ is a combination antibiotic containing Cefepime and Tazobactam, used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Cefepime is a powerful antibiotic that works by disrupting the formation of the bacterial cell wall, an essential structure that protects bacteria and allows them to survive. By preventing this protective covering from forming, Cefepime effectively kills the bacteria causing the infection. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Some bacteria produce enzymes called beta-lactamases, which can break down antibiotics like Cefepime, rendering them ineffective. Tazobactam blocks these enzymes, reducing bacterial resistance and enhancing the antibiotic’s ability to fight the infection. The combination of Cefepime and Tazobactam makes Xepime-TAZ highly effective against bacteria that may be resistant to other antibiotics. It is commonly prescribed for serious infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, abdominal area, and bloodstream. It is important to take Xepime-TAZ exactly as prescribed and complete the full course of treatment to ensure all bacteria are eliminated and to prevent resistance. If you experience side effects or your symptoms do not improve, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
