CEFTAZIDIME 250 MG
For Children's
Injection
Alcohol Free

Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, which leads to the death of susceptible bacteria. It is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and is effective against a broad range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The injection is usually available as a sterile powder that is reconstituted with a suitable diluent (e.g., sterile water or saline) before intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration.

Mechanism of Action:

  • Ceftazidime binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in bacteria.

  • Inhibits the final step of bacterial cell wall synthesis.

  • Leads to cell lysis and bacterial death.

Ceftazidime 250 mg injection is commonly used to treat serious bacterial infections, including:

  1. Respiratory Tract Infections:

    • Pneumonia, bronchitis, and infections in cystic fibrosis patients.

  2. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):

    • Complicated UTIs, pyelonephritis.

  3. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections:
