About TazobactamA Penicillanic acid sulfone beta-lactamase inhibitor, penams, To increase the antibacterial activity of penicillins against ?-lactamase?producing organisms.Mechanism of Action of TazobactamTazobactam is a Penicillanic acid sulfone beta lactamase inhibitor.Sulbactam has no significant antimicrobial activity, despite sharing the ?-lactam ring that is characteristic of beta-lactam antibiotics. This similarity in chemical structure helps the Tazobactam to act as a competitive inhibitor of beta-lactamase enzyme secreted by certain bacteria that are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. This inhibition restores the antibacterial activity of beta-lactam antibiotics against ?-lactamase-secreting resistant bacteria.It is usually given in combination with Piperacillin.Pharmacokinets of TazobactamN/AOnset of Action for TazobactamN/ADuration of Action for TazobactamN/AHalf Life of TazobactamN/ASide Effects of Tazobactam1.Gastrointestinal disturbances
