PIPERACIL-TAZOBACT 3.375 GM VL

What it is

PIPERACIL-TAZOBACT 3.375 GM VL is how the CMS NADAC file names this product. The FDA NDC Directory lists it as “piperacillin sodium,tazobactam sodium”, “piperacillin and tazobactam” and “piperacillin sodium and tazobactam sodium”, as its NDCs’ listings variously write the nonproprietary name.

FDA gives its dosage form as “injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution” and “injection, powder, for solution” and its route as “intravenous; parenteral” and “intravenous”.

FDA lists 9 labelers (the companies named on the label) for its NDCs, among them Sandoz Inc, WG Critical Care, LLC and Eugia US LLC.

FDA lists it under 2 Established Pharmacologic Classes: beta Lactamase Inhibitor and Penicillin-class Antibacterial.

The NADAC file of 2026-10-14 prices it under 12 NDCs (National Drug Codes); the FDA directory lists 11 of them.

NADAC classes it as a generic drug (rate-setting class G), and does not mark it as sold over the counter.

How the class comparison works

What Medicare paid

Medicare Part D paid $4.05 for 1 unit (EA), at an average of $4.04535 per EA in 2024 (2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31) for “Piperacillin-Tazobactam” and “Piperacillin Sodium/Tazobactam”, every strength and form sold under that name together (Medicare Part D Spending by Drug, file of 2026-06-25).

That average covers 72,722 Part D claims (fills, including refills) for 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31, across every maker, strength and form under the name.

11 of the product’s 12 NDCs have this Medicare figure; the other 1 do not, and the interactive card says why for each.

Medicare's price is not your price.

What to ask at the counter

None of these figures is your price: what you pay depends on your pharmacy, your insurance, coupons and discounts.

• What is your cash price for 1 unit (EA)? Is it lower than what I would pay through my insurance?
• If you have Medicare Part D: what is my plan’s copay or coinsurance for it? The Part D average on this page is not what you pay.
• These are questions about price, not medical advice. Do not change or stop a medicine without talking to your prescriber or pharmacist.
