SAN DIEGO â North County residents and businesses are adjusting to the addition of a new 442 area code.
Piperacillin/Tazobactam. Piperacillin and tazobactam are given together as injectable antibiotics for anaerobic bacterial infection. The brand name of the drug combination is Zosyn, and it contains the antibiotic piperacillin sodium and the Î²-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam sodium.
Vanc/Zosyn is not elegant, but will cover most infections: Gram positives including MRSA, Gram negatives including most Pseudomonas, and anaerobes. Excellent range of site penetration including lungs, abdomen, urine, and skin/soft tissues. Not a bad choice if patient is very ill and unclear source of infection.
