DOSAGE:I neb
FREQUENCY:Every 4 hours
Bronchodilator It relieves nasal congestion and reversible bronchospasm by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchioles.. it binds to the beta2-adrenergic receptors in the airway of the smooth muscle which then leads to the activation of the adenyl cyclase and increased levels of cyclic- 3’5’-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). When cAMP increases, kinases are activated. Kinases inhibit the phosphorylation of myosin and decrease intracellular calcium.Decreased in intracellular calcium will result to the relaxation of the smooth muscle airways

GENERIC:piptaz
BRAND:Piperacillin Sodium & Tazobactam Sodium
DOSAGE:2.2 gram IV
FREQUENCY:Every 6 hours (-) ANST
Penicillin Piperacillin, extended-
spectrum penicillin, exerts its
antimicrobial action in
growing and dividing bacteria
by interfering with septum
formation and cell wall
synthesis of susceptible
bacteria. It binds to penicillin-
binding proteins on the
bacterial cell wall and blocks
peptidoglycan synthesis.
Peptidoglycan is a
heteropolymeric structure
that gives the cell wall its
mechanical stability. The final
stage of the peptidoglycan
synthesis involves the
completion of the cross-
linking with the terminal
glycine residue of the
pentaglycine bridge linking to
the fourth residue of the
pentapeptide. The
transpeptidase that performs
this step is inhibited by
piperacillin. The bacterial cell
wall weakens leading to
swelling and rupture of the
microorganism.
Treatment of infections in the lower respiratory tract Ex: severe community-acquired pneumonia &health care pneumonia; uncomplicated& complicated skin & skin structure infections; intra-abdominal infections w/ peritonitis
Hypertension, chest pain, edema, dyspnea, hypotension, Tachycardia, bradycardia, heart failure.
