Oriheal Palacef-TZ Cefoperazone + Sulbactam & Metronidazole Veterinary Injection
Oriheal Palacef-TZ is a veterinary prescription combination antibiotic and antiprotozoal injectable formulation manufactured by Oriheal Lifesciences. It combines a third-generation cephalosporin (Cefoperazone) with a beta-lactamase inhibitor (Sulbactam) for broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage, and Metronidazole (or Tinidazole) for anaerobic bacterial and protozoal activity. This combination provides effective coverage against a wide range of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria, and protozoal organisms, making it suitable for mixed and polymicrobial infections in companion animals and livestock. Available in two strengths: 562.5mg and 1.125g.
Composition (per vial — confirm from product label)
-
562.5mg variant:
- Cefoperazone Sodium — (confirm mg from label) — third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic
- Sulbactam Sodium — (confirm mg from label) — beta-lactamase inhibitor (protects Cefoperazone from resistant organisms)

Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary combination antibiotic (third-generation cephalosporin + beta-lactamase inhibitor) and antiprotozoal (nitroimidazole) prescription injection — broad-spectrum bacterial and protozoal infection management in companion animals and livestock
Key Benefits
- Cefoperazone — third-generation cephalosporin with broad Gram-positive and Gram-negative antibacterial spectrum, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Sulbactam — beta-lactamase inhibitor that restores Cefoperazone activity against beta-lactamase-producing resistant organisms
- Metronidazole / Tinidazole — nitroimidazole antiprotozoal and anaerobic antibacterial; covers anaerobes and protozoal pathogens (Giardia, Trichomonas, Entamoeba) not covered by cephalosporins
- Combination provides polymicrobial and mixed anaerobic-aerobic infection coverage in one formulation
- Parenteral (IV/IM) delivery — rapid systemic therapeutic levels; preferred for severe or hospitalised infections
Indications
- Bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (pneumonia, bronchopneumonia)
- Gastrointestinal infections including anaerobic and protozoal GI disease
- Urogenital infections (UTI, pyelonephritis, metritis)
- Skin and soft tissue infections (pyoderma, wound infections, abscesses)
- Polymicrobial and mixed aerobic-anaerobic infections
- Post-surgical infection prevention and treatment
- Protozoal infections (Giardia, Trichomonas, anaerobic protozoal disease) — confirm from label active
Directions for Use
- Administer by intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection as directed by a licensed veterinarian
- Reconstitute and prepare strictly per label instructions and veterinary protocol
- Dosage determined by species, body weight, infection severity, and variant strength — refer to veterinary prescription
- Complete the full prescribed antibiotic course; do not discontinue early even if clinical signs improve
Safety Information
- Prescription medicine — for veterinary use only; injectable administration by a licensed veterinary professional only
- Confirm beta-lactam hypersensitivity (penicillin/cephalosporin) before administration
- Metronidazole/Tinidazole — avoid in pregnant animals in early gestation; use with caution in animals with hepatic disease
- Do not use without confirmed indication — antibiotic stewardship applies; third-generation cephalosporins are critically important antibiotics (WHO classification)
- Keep out of reach of children; store as directed on label; use immediately after reconstitution
