Uses of Tabazo

Tabazo is an antibiotic given by injection, indicated in cases of infections caused by bacteria sensitive to this antibiotic. To ensure the effective treatment of the drug and avoid unwanted side effects, patients need to use Tabazo as prescribed by the doctor / pharmacist.

Tabazo drug has the main ingredients Cefoperazon Sodium 1g and Sulbactam Sodium 1g, prepared in the form of powder for solution for injection.
Cefoperazone Sodium is a semi-synthetic antibiotic, belonging to the 3rd generation Cephalosporin group, with a broad spectrum of action. Bactericidal effect due to inhibition of wall synthesis of growing and dividing bacterial cells. Cefoperazone Sodium is used alone or in combination with other medicinal products to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including upper and lower respiratory tract infections, peritonitis, skin and lower tissue infections skin, endometritis, bacterial sepsis. This drug is given by injection because it is almost not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally.
Sulbactam is used in medicine in the form of Sulbactam sodium, which works by irreversibly inhibiting the Enzyme Beta - Lactamase. This active ingredient only has very weak antibacterial activity when used alone, so it is often used in combination with antibiotics of the Cephalosporin group or Penicillin to reduce the destruction of antibiotics by beta lactamase enzymes. Has good inhibitory activity on both Plasmid and chromosome-mediated Beta - Lactamase types, thereby helping to expand the antibacterial spectrum.
The combination of these two ingredients increases the antibacterial spectrum of the antibiotic Cefoperazone more than when used alone.
