Description & Effects
RIFCO-PS is a powerful combination antibiotic containing Piperacillin and Tazobactum. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of a wide range of severe bacterial infections including those of the lungs (like pneumonia), urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, abdominal area, and gynecological infections. Piperacillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics and works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls, which are essential for their growth and survival. However, many bacteria produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that can destroy penicillin-type antibiotics.To overcome this, RIFCO-PS includes Tazobactum, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that protects Piperacillin from enzymatic degradation, thereby restoring and enhancing its effectiveness. This synergy not only broadens the spectrum of bacterial coverage but also helps in treating resistant infections more effectively.
RIFCO-PS is generally administered via injection under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the infection, and patient-specific factors such as kidney function. Common side effects may include diarrhea, rash, nausea, and injection site reactions.
RIFCO-PS should only be used when prescribed by a doctor and is an important option in the management of serious hospital-acquired and multi-drug resistant bacterial infections.
