PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM belongs to the 'Antibiotics' class of drugs, primarily used to treat bacterial infections. It is used to treat various hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections (like diabetic foot infections) and uterine infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM contains two medicines, namely: Piperacillin (Penicillin antibiotic) and Tazobactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Piperacillin belongs to the class of 'Penicillin antibiotics.' It has bactericidal (ability to kill bacteria) activity against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic (requires oxygen to survive) and anaerobic (survives with little or no oxygen) bacteria. Piperacillin 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. Beta-lactamases are the enzymes produced by bacteria to gain multi-resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins. Tazobactam prevents the breakdown of other antibiotics by beta-lactamase enzyme-producing organisms. In PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM, Tazobactam works by preventing bacteria from destroying Piperacillin.
PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM will be administered by a healthcare professional. Like all medicines, PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, headache, and trouble sleeping. If any of these effects persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any allergic reactions to antibiotics. Please inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney diseases, bleeding disorders, and fits before using PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM. Do not use PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM while having vaccinations with live bacterial vaccines (typhoid vaccine) since PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM may affect vaccines' activity. PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM should be used during pregnancy only if the doctor advises you. It is also excreted into breast milk in small amounts. Hence, it is recommended to consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM.

Thus, PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM helps treat various bacterial infections of the stomach, lungs, skin and uterus.
If you have a history of any cystic fibrosis (damaged lungs and digestive system), kidney disease, fits, colitis (inflammation of the colon), bleeding disorders, or heart or liver diseases, please inform your doctor before starting PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM. Please seek medical advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM. Patients aged above 65 years are not at an increased risk of having side effects. However, the dosage should be adjusted if the patient has a history of renal impairment. Safety and efficacy of PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM in children less than two months of age have not been established.
Drug-Drug Interaction: PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM may interact with anticoagulants (heparin), anti-cancer drugs (methotrexate), antibiotics (tobramycin, vancomycin), gout medicines (probenecid), and anaesthetic drugs (vecuronium).
Drug-Food Interaction: Avoid alcohol consumption while taking PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM to prevent unpleasant side-effects, such as nausea and vomiting.
Drug-Disease Interaction: Before taking PIRACT INJECTION 4.5GM, let your doctor know if you have cystic fibrosis, kidney disease, fits, colitis, bleeding disorders, heart or liver diseases, and are undergoing dialysis treatment.
Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria occur in three basic shapes: spherical, rod and spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have a cell wall). Some common symptoms of a bacterial infection include cough, fever and tiredness.
Hospital-acquired pneumonia/ nosocomial pneumonia: It is a lower respiratory infection of the lungs that occurs during a hospital stay.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia: A lung infection occurs in people who are on mechanical ventilation breathing machines in hospitals.
