This medication is a combination of piperacillin and tazobactam. It works as an antibacterial drug that is injected intravenously or intramuscularly to prevent bacterial infection. The former constituent kills the bacteria by preventing them from forming their cell walls by binding with certain penicillin binding proteins present in the bacterial cells. The latter constituent inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamases. Thus the later constituent restrains the resistance caused for the other constituent.
