Product Introduction
Xavitaz 2.5gm Injection is a combination antibiotic containing Ceftazidime and Avibactam. Ceftazidime belongs to the class of third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics, while Avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor that helps protect the antibiotic from bacterial resistance. Together, these medicines provide broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and are used to treat serious bacterial infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and intra-abdominal infections.
Do not use Xavitaz 2.5gm Injection if you are allergic to Ceftazidime, Avibactam, or any of the ingredients in this medicine. It is also important to inform your doctor if you have a history of allergy to cephalosporins, penicillins, or any other antibiotic group before starting treatment. Taking more than the prescribed dose may increase the risk of seizure-like symptoms. Therefore, let your doctor know if you have a history of epilepsy or seizures before receiving this medication.
Treatment with Xavitaz 2.5gm Injection may cause antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, which can vary from mild to severe. If you develop persistent or severe diarrhoea during or after completing treatment, contact your doctor immediately. This medicine should be used with caution in patients with impaired kidney function, as dose adjustments may be required based on kidney performance. Your doctor may regularly monitor your kidney function throughout the course of treatment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, inform your healthcare provider before using this medicine. Your doctor will evaluate the potential benefits and risks to determine whether Xavitaz 2.5gm Injection is suitable for you.
How it works
Ceftazidime is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Avibactam is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Avibactam helps protect Ceftazidime from being degraded by beta-lactamase enzymes, allowing the antibiotic to kill the bacteria effectively.
Expert Tips
Finish the entire prescribed course of Xavitaz 2.5gm Injection, even if you start feeling better before the completion. Stopping the medication suddenly can lead to incomplete treatment and the risk of recurrent or resistant infections. Notify your doctor if you have allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics, penicillins, or other medications. Also, report any adverse reactions or side effects you experience during treatment. If you notice any allergies check with your doctor for any Xavitaz injection substitutes.
