Abstract
Piperacillin/Tazobactam otherwise known as Zosyn is a broad-spectrum combination antibiotic used to treat severe infections. It combines the high antibiotic activity of piperacillin with β-lactamase inhibitor properties of tazobactam that helps to restore the susceptibility of bacteria to the antibiotic and prevents resistance. Despite this interesting pharmacological profile, Zosyn is given intravenously because of its poor oral
