Tocef-TZ Injection is a combination of two medicines: Cefoperazone and Tazobactum. Cefoperazone is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria. Tazobactum is a beta-lactamase inhibitor which reduces resistance and enhances the activity of Cefoperazone against bacteria.
