🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
Ceftriaxone inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins, preventing peptidoglycan cross-linking. Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects ceftriaxone from enzymatic degradation by certain beta-lactamases, thereby extending its spectrum against beta-lactamase-producing bacteria.
Mechanism Steps
💡 How to Take Seftriax T 500mg/62.5mg Injection
Strength: Injection: Ceftriaxone 500 mg + Tazobactum 62.5 mg per vial.
Dosage Information
| Adult Dosage | The usual adult dose is 1-2 grams of ceftriaxone with 125-250 mg of tazobactum every 12-24 hours, depending on the infection severity and site. For severe infections, higher doses may be used. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function. |

| Elderly Dosage | Elderly patients may require dose adjustment based on renal function. Use with caution and monitor closely. |
| Renal Impairment | In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), dose adjustment may be necessary. Consult a clinician. |
