Ceftazidime injection is a sterile, parenteral broad‑spectrum antibiotic in the third‑generation cephalosporin class.
This antibiotic is indicated for the treatment of a variety of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, septicemia, bone and joint infections, and hospital‑acquired infections. It is particularly noted for its activity against many Gram‑negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
