WHAT ZAVICEFTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT ZAVICEFTA IS
Zavicefta is an antibiotic medicine that contains two active
substances ceftazidime and avibactam.

Ceftazidime belongs to the group of antibiotics called
“cephalosporins”. It can kill many types
of bacteria.

Avibactam is a “beta-lactamase inhibitor” that helps ceftazidime
kill some bacteria that it cannot
kill on its own.
WHAT ZAVICEFTA IS USED FOR
Zavicefta is used in adults and paediatric patients aged 3 months and
over to treat:

infections of the stomach and gut (abdomen)

infections of the bladder or kidneys called “urinary tract
infections”

an infection of the lungs called “pneumonia”

infections caused by bacteria that other antibiotics may not be able
to kill
Zavicefta is used in adults to treat infection of the blood associated
with infections of the abdomen,
urinary tract, or pneumonia.
HOW ZAVICEFTA WORKS
Zavicefta works by killing certain types of bacteria, which can cause
serious infections.
2.



ingredients of this medicine (listed
