Ceftazidime is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, used to treat infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and intra-abdominal infections, especially cases resistant to other antibiotics.
Ceftazidime is effective for the treatment of hospital-acquired infections. Intravenous administration ensures rapid delivery of the drug into the bloodstream and high concentrations at the site of infection. Patients usually tolerate it well.
