Piprataz 375mg/3gr is indicated for the treatment of the following systemic and/or local bacterial infections in which susceptible organisms have been detected or are suspected: Lower respiratory tract infections; urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated); intra-abdominal infections; skin and skin structure infections; bacterial septicemia. Polymicrobial infections: Piprataz 375mg/3gr is indicated for polymicrobial infections including those where aerobic and anaerobic organisms are suspected (intra-abdominal, skin and skin structure, lower respiratory tract).

Piprataz 375mg/3gr, in combination with an aminoglycoside, is indicated for bacterial infections in neutropenic adults or children.

Children Under the Age of 12 Years: In hospitalized children aged 2 to 12 years, Piprataz 375mg/3gr is indicated for the treatment of intra-abdominal infections including appendicitis complicated by rupture or abscess, peritonitis, and biliary infections. It has not been evaluated in this indication for pediatric patients below the age of 2 years.

Whilst Piprataz 375mg/3gr is indicated only for the conditions listed above, infections caused by Piprataz 375mg/3gr susceptible organisms are also amendable to Piprataz 375mg/3gr treatment due to its Piprataz 375mg/3gr content. Therefore, the treatment of mixed infections caused by Piprataz 375mg/3gr susceptible organisms and β-beta lactamase producing organisms susceptible to Piprataz 375mg/3gr should not require the addition of another antibiotic.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr is particularly useful in the treatment of mixed infections and in presumptive therapy prior to the availability of the results of sensitivity tests because of its broad spectrum of activity.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr acts synergistically with aminoglycosides against certain strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Combined therapy has been successful, especially in patients with impaired host defences. Both drugs should be used in full therapeutic doses. As soon as results of culture and susceptibility tests become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted if necessary.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr dosage

sponsored

Piprataz 375mg/3gr should be administered by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes.

The usual daily dose of Piprataz 375mg/3gr for adults is 3.375 g every six hours totaling 13.5 g (12.0 g Piprataz 375mg/3gr/1.5 g Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr)).

Nosocomial Pneumonia

Initial presumptive treatment of patients with nosocomial pneumonia should start with Piprataz 375mg/3gr at a dosage of 4.5 g every six hours plus an aminoglycoside, totaling 18.0 g (16.0 g Piprataz 375mg/3gr/2.0 g Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr)). Treatment with the aminoglycoside should be continued in patients from whom Pseudomonas aeruginosa is isolated. If Pseudomonas aeruginosa is not isolated, the aminoglycoside may be discontinued at the discretion of the treating physician.

Due to the in vitro inactivation of the aminoglycoside by beta-lactam antibiotics, Piprataz 375mg/3gr and the aminoglycoside are recommended for separate administration. Piprataz 375mg/3gr and the aminoglycoside should be reconstituted, diluted, and administered separately when concomitant therapy with aminoglycosides is indicated.

In circumstances where coadministration via Y-site is necessary, reformulated Piprataz 375mg/3gr containing EDTA supplied in Galaxy containers is compatible for simultaneous coadministration via Y-site infusion only with the following aminoglycosides under the following conditions:

The following compatibility information does not apply to the Piprataz 375mg/3gr (Piprataz 375mg/3gr) formulation not containing EDTA. This information does not apply to Piprataz 375mg/3gr in vials or bulk pharmacy containers. Refer to the package insert for Piprataz 375mg/3gr vials or bulk pharmacy containers for instructions.

*The concentration ranges in Table 5 are based on administration of the aminoglycoside in divided doses (10-15 mg/kg/day in two daily doses for amikacin and 3-5 mg/kg/day in three daily doses for gentamicin). Administration of amikacin or gentamicin in a single daily dose or in doses exceeding those stated above via Y-site with Piprataz 375mg/3gr containing EDTA has not been evaluated. See package insert for each aminoglycoside for complete Dosage and Administration instructions.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr is not compatible with tobramycin for simultaneous coadministration via Y-site infusion. Compatibility of Piprataz 375mg/3gr with other aminoglycosides has not been established. Only the concentration and diluents for amikacin or gentamicin with the dosages of Piprataz 375mg/3gr listed above have been established as compatible for coadministration via Y-site infusion. Simultaneous coadministration via Y-site infusion in any manner other than listed above may result in inactivation of the aminoglycoside by Piprataz 375mg/3gr.

Renal Insufficiency

In patients with renal insufficiency (Creatinine Clearance ≤ 40 mL/min), the intravenous dose of Piprataz 375mg/3gr should be adjusted to the degree of actual renal function impairment. In patients with nosocomial pneumonia receiving concomitant aminoglycoside therapy, the aminoglycoside dosage should be adjusted according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. The recommended daily doses of Piprataz 375mg/3gr for patients with renal insufficiency are as follows:

For patients on hemodialysis, the maximum dose is 2.25 g every twelve hours for all indications other than nosocomial pneumonia and 2.25 g every eight hours for nosocomial pneumonia. Since hemodialysis removes 30% to 40% of the administered dose, an additional dose of 0.75 g Piprataz 375mg/3gr should be administered following each dialysis period on hemodialysis days. No additional dosage of Piprataz 375mg/3gr is necessary for CAPD patients.

Duration of Therapy

The usual duration of Piprataz 375mg/3gr treatment is from seven to ten days. However, the recommended duration of Piprataz 375mg/3gr treatment of nosocomial pneumonia is 7 to 14 days. In all conditions, the duration of therapy should be guided by the severity of the infection and the patient's clinical and bacteriological progress.

Pediatric Patients

For children with appendicitis and/or peritonitis 9 months of age or older, weighing up to 40 kg, and with normal renal function, the recommended Piprataz 375mg/3gr dosage is 100 mg Piprataz 375mg/3gr/12.5 mg Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr) per kilogram of body weight, every 8 hours. For pediatric patients between 2 months and 9 months of age, the recommended Piprataz 375mg/3gr dosage based on pharmacokinetic modeling, is 80 mg Piprataz 375mg/3gr/10 mg Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr) per kilogram of body weight, every 8 hours. Pediatric patients weighing over 40 kg and with normal renal function should receive the adult dose. There are no dosage recommendations for Piprataz 375mg/3gr in pediatric patients with impaired renal function.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr in Galaxy containers should not be used in pediatric patients who require less than the full adult dose of Piprataz 375mg/3gr in order to prevent unintentional overdose. The other available formulations of Piprataz 375mg/3gr can be used in this population.

Piprataz 375mg/3gr interactions

See also:
What other drugs will affect Piprataz 375mg/3gr?

The following drug interactions are chosen on the basis of their potential clinical significance:

Aminoglycosides: The mixing of Piprataz 375mg/3gr in vitro can result in substantial inactivation of the aminoglycosides.

When Piprataz 375mg/3gr is administered together with tobramycin, the AUC, renal clearance and urinary recovery of tobramycin were decreased by 11%, 32% and 38%, respectively. The alterations in the pharmacokinetics of tobramycin when administered in conjunction with Piprataz 375mg/3gr may be due to inactivation of tobramycin in the presence of Piprataz 375mg/3gr. It has been postulated that penicillin-aminoglycoside complexes form and these complexes are micobiologically inactive and unknown toxicity.

Probenecid: Probenecid administered concomitantly with Piprataz 375mg/3gr prolongs the t½ of Piprataz 375mg/3gr by 21% and that of Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr) by 71%.

Heparin, Anticoagulants and Drugs Affecting the Blood: Coagulation parameters should be tested more frequently and monitored regularly during simultaneous administration of high doses of heparin, anticoagulants and Piprataz 375mg/3gr that may affect the blood coagulation system or the thrombocyte function.

Vecuronium: Piprataz 375mg/3gr when used concomitantly with vecuronium has been implicated in the prolongation of vecuronium's neuromuscular blockade. It is also expected that neuromuscular blockade produced by any of the nondepolarizing muscle muscle relaxants could be prolonged in the presence of Piprataz 375mg/3gr.

Methotrexate: Limited data suggest that the clearance of methotrexate is reduced when co-administered with Piprataz 375mg/3gr, due to competition for renal secretion. The impact of Tazobactam (Piprataz 375mg/3gr) on the elimination of methotrexate has not been evaluated. If Piprataz 375mg/3gr and methotrexate are administered concomitantly, serum concentrations of methotrexate as well as signs and symptoms of methotrexate toxicity should be closely monitored.

Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: As with other penicillins, the administration of Piprataz 375mg/3gr may result in a false positive reaction of glucose in the urine using copper-reduction method (Clinitest). It is recommended that glucose tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions be used.

In patients with renal failure, Piprataz 375mg/3gr is reported to cause abnormalities in clotting time, platelet aggregation and prothrombin time that close monitoring of the patient's coagulation tests is recommended.
