Bacterial infections, hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and uterine infections.

Medicinal Benefits:

Extentia Injection contains two medicines, namely: Piperacillin and Tazobactam. Piperacillin is a Penicillin antibiotic. It acts by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) inside the bacterial cell wall and inhibits its cell wall synthesis. Tazobactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of other antibiotics by beta-lactamase enzyme-producing organisms. In Extentia Injection , Tazobactam works by preventing bacteria from destroying Piperacillin. Thus, Extentia Injection helps treat various bacterial infections of the stomach, lungs, skin and uterus.
