Lower respiratory tract infections. 2. Urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated). 3. Intra-abdominal infections. 4. Skin and skin structure infections. 5. Bacterial septicaemia. 6. Gynaecological infections.,,Children under the age of 12 years:,In hospitalised children aged 2 to 12 years, Piperacillin/Tazobactam Kabi Injection is indicated for the treatment of serious intra-abdominal infections.

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment in order to identify organisms causing infection to determine their susceptibilities to Piperacillin/Tazobactam. Therapy with Piperacillin/Tazobactam, however, may be initiated before results of such tests are known when there is a reason to believe the infection may involve any of the Beta-lactamase producing organisms listed above; however, once these results become available, appropriate therapy should be continued.,In serious infections, presumptive therapy with Piperacillin/Tazobactam Kabi may be initiated before susceptibility test results are available.,Combination therapy with Piperacillin/Tazobactam Kabi and aminoglycosides may be used in the treatment of serious infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
