Doctors in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Tanzo Injection 4.5gm for hospitalized patients with severe infections. It is typically given through an intravenous line under medical supervision.
Piperacillin stops bacteria from building their protective cell wall, which kills the germs directly. Tazobactam blocks an enzyme that many bacteria use to destroy piperacillin, so the antibiotic keeps working.
A doctor decides the dose and length of treatment based on the infection type and kidney function. Tanzo should only be given in a hospital or clinic under trained medical staff.
