Cefepime 250 Mg Inection
Cefepime is a fourth-generation parenteral cephalosporin bactericidal antibiotic. Its zwitterionic structure allows rapid penetration through Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane porins, providing broad coverage against both Gram-positive organisms (MSSA, streptococci) and Gram-negative bacilli, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and AmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Indicated for empirical monotherapy in febrile neutropenia, severe hospital-acquired pneumonia, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and complicated pyelonephritis.
Cefepime 1000Mg + Tazobactam 125Mg Injection
Cefepime and Tazobactam is an advanced parenteral combination of a fourth-generation cephalosporin and a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Cefepime penetrates the outer bacterial membrane rapidly and possesses low affinity for AmpC beta-lactamases, while tazobactam neutralizes extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). Indicated for severe nosocomial pneumonia, febrile neutropenia, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and multi-drug resistant urinary sepsis.
