(Ceftazidime Pentahydrate)

The active ingredient in Fortaz is ceftazidime.

Ceftazidime is a beta-lactam antimicrobial that’s mechanism of action works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins inside the bacteria, which weakens the cell wall and causes the bacteria to break apart and die. This bactericidal action makes it effective against susceptible organisms such as escherichia coli, klebsiella, haemophilus influenzae, and neisseria meningitidis, as well as certain strains of staphylococcus aureus.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Fortaz.

Fortaz begins working soon after administration, as it reaches therapeutic plasma concentrations quickly. Many patients notice improvement in symptoms within a few days, although full recovery depends on the severity and type of infection.

Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:

• Aminoglycosides, which may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.
• Vancomycin, which may increase kidney-related adverse effects.
• Chloramphenicol, which may interfere with the antibacterial activity of ceftazidime.
