Kidney Notes: The Sopranos and Zosyn

  • Maria · 3 years ago
    Heh; I like the way you think. ;) I suppose that Wyeth Pharm had something to do with it; otherwise, the surgeon could have said "pip-tazo" or, to keep with the medicalese, piperacillin-tazobactam". (I personally like saying "pip-tazo", but that's just me.)

    Maria, I like "pip-tazo", too. But ain't there a nationwide shortage of Zosyn? That's what the PharmD's have been telling us. My hospital ran out of it a month ago.

    Zosyn is a proven anti-infective which is commonly used not only for skin infections but for other types of post-surgical infections as well. I should know. I deliver many of these doses of Zosyn at the hospital I work at and I was given Zosyn after a hernia-repair surgery back in 2004. If anyone has any questions about Zosyn and what are its main indications one should consult with their personal pharmacist, one who knows.
