CompositionCeftaz 1000 Injection is used to treat serious bacterial infections affecting the brain, lungs, skin, urinary tract, bones, joints, and abdomen, including conditions such as meningitis, sepsis, and hospital-acquired pneumonia. It is also given to help prevent infections during certain surgical procedures.
It contains ceftazidime, a cephalosporin antibiotic. This injection is given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinical setting, so you will not need to administer it yourself. Complete the full prescribed course, even if you start to feel better, to ensure the infection is fully treated and to help prevent antibiotic resistance.
Getting adequate rest, staying well hydrated, and eating a balanced, protein-rich diet can support your body's recovery during treatment. Follow any additional advice from your care team regarding wound care or activity restrictions while you recover from the infection.
Before this medicine is given, tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, a history of allergic reactions to antibiotics, or are taking other medicines. Inform your care team promptly if you notice a rash, severe diarrhoea, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling or difficulty breathing. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with your doctor.
