Product Information
How It Works
Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, while Avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The combination is designed to provide antibacterial activity against certain bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes capable of reducing the effectiveness of some antibiotics.
Zavicefta may be used for serious infections when other antibiotic options may not be suitable, particularly infections caused by certain resistant Gram-negative organisms. The choice of treatment depends on the identified or suspected bacteria, infection site, severity, and antimicrobial susceptibility.
