About Zeftabac Injection
Zeftabac Injection belongs to a class of medicines called antibiotics used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract and abdomen. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood.
Zeftabac Injection contains Ceftazidime and Avibactam. Ceftazidime works by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. Avibactam decreases bacterial resistance and enhances the activity of Ceftazidime against the bacteria. Together, Zeftabac Injection helps to treat bacterial infections.
In some cases, you may experience redness and swelling at the site of injection, and/or nausea and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects of Zeftabac Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to Zeftabac Injection or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Zeftabac Injection. Drive only if you are alert as Zeftabac Injection may cause dizziness. Zeftabac Injection should be used with caution in those with renal impairment and Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea.
Uses of Zeftabac Injection
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Zeftabac Injection contains Ceftazidime and Avibactam; they act against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, and abdomen. Ceftazidime inhibits enzymes that regulate the formation of the bacterial cell wall, thereby arresting bacterial development. Avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme that inactivates antibiotics and builds up a drug resistance. By inhibiting beta-lactamase, avibactam makes the bacteria more susceptible to antibiotic action. Zeftabac Injection damages the bacterial cell wall, kills bacteria and makes the bacteria more sensitive to the action of the antibiotic. Hence Zeftabac Injection finds widespread use in treating complicated bacterial infections.
