Why is this medication prescribed?

Ceftazidime belongs to a group of antibiotics called the cephalosporins. They kill bacteria by interfering with the ability of bacteria to form cell walls. The bacteria therefore break up and die. This medication is given by injection or infusion and is generally used for severe infections.

This particular medicine is used to treat abdominal infections, infections caused by the bacterium, pseudomonas aeruginosa, infections of the organs associated with breathing including the nose, windpipe and lungs (respiratory tract), and infections of the urinary system.
