Ceftazidime blocks the building of the bacterial cell wall, which kills the bacteria. Ceftaz 1gm Injection is given as an injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or nurse, usually in hospital or a clinic.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any antibiotic, especially penicillins or cephalosporins.
• Finish the full course your doctor prescribes, even if you feel better earlier. Stopping early can let the infection return and makes resistance more likely.

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Ceftaz 1gm Injection only after speaking to your doctor.
• Do not share your antibiotics with others or keep leftover medicine for future use.
