Clinical Overview

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.
