What is Avycaz?

Avycaz (ceftazidime and avibactam) is a brand-name prescription combination drug used to treat certain bacterial infections such as hospital-acquired pneumonia, complicated urinary tract infections, and complicated intra-abdominal infections. Complicated infections are infections that have a higher risk of failure with regular treatment.

Ceftazidime belongs to a class of drugs called cephalosporins. This type of drug kills bacteria by interfering with their ability to form or repair their cell walls, which protect the bacteria's contents from the outside environment. As the cell wall loses its integrity, the bacteria's contents begin to spill out and the cell can no longer function. Avibactam protects ceftazidime from being broken down in the body, giving it more time in the body to kill bacteria. Avycaz is usually given every eight hours as a two-hour intravenous infusion. However, the exact dosage will depend on the condition being treated. 

What are the side effects of Avycaz?
