The chemical formula is C 23 H 26 N 5 NaO 7 S and the molecular weight is 539.5. The chemical structure of piperacillin sodium is: Tazobactam sodium, a derivative of the penicillin nucleus, is a penicillanic acid sulfone. Its chemical name is sodium (2 S, 3 S, 5 R )-3-methyl-7-oxo-3-(1 H -1,2,3-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylate-4,4-dioxide. The chemical formula is C 10 H 11 N 4 NaO 5 S and the molecular weight is 322.3. The chemical structure of tazobactam sodium is: Piperacillin and Tazobactam for Injection and Sodium Chloride Injection is supplied as a sterile powder for injection and a sterile solution in a single-dose DUPLEX ® Container with a strength of 2.25 g, 3.375 g, or 4.5 g in the following presentations: 2.25 g: contains 2 grams of piperacillin (equivalent to 2.085 g of piperacillin sodium), 0.25 g of tazobactam (equivalent to 0.269 g of tazobactam sodium), 0.5 mg of edetate sodium dihydrate (EDTA), and 100 mg of sodium citrate dihydrate in the powder chamber. The diluent chamber contains 225 mg of sodium chloride and 50 mL of water for injection. 3.375 g: contains 3 grams of piperacillin (equivalent to 3.127 g of piperacillin sodium) and 0.375 g of tazobactam (equivalent to 0.402 g of tazobactam sodium), 0.75 mg of EDTA, and 150 mg of sodium citrate dihydrate in the powder chamber. The diluent chamber contains 150 mg of sodium chloride and 50 mL of water for injection. 4.5 g: contains 4 grams of piperacillin (equivalent to 4.170 g of piperacillin sodium), 0.5 g of tazobactam (equivalent to 0.538 g of tazobactam sodium), 1 mg of EDTA, and 200 mg of sodium citrate dihydrate. The diluent chamber contains 450 mg of sodium chloride and 100 mL of water for injection. Piperacillin and Tazobactam for Injection and Sodium Chloride Injection contains a total of 9.6 mEq (220 mg), 11.1 mEq (256 mg), and 19.1 mEq (440 mg) of sodium (Na+) per 2.25 g, 3.375 g, and 4.5 g product, respectively [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Use in Specific Populations (8.5) ] .
