Therapeutic Category
Antibiotic, Cephalosporin (Third Generation)
Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more of the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which in turn inhibits the final
transpeptidation step of peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls, thus inhibiting cell wall biosynthesis. Bacteria eventually lyse due to
ongoing activity of cell wall autolytic enzymes (autolysins and murein hydrolases) while cell wall assembly is arrested.
Pharmacokinetics (Adult data unless noted)
Distribution: Widely throughout the body including bone, bile, skin, CSF (higher concentrations achieved when meninges are inflamed),
endometrium, heart, pleural and lymphatic fluids
Protein binding: 17%
Half-life elimination: 1-2 hours, prolonged with renal impairment; Neonates <23 days: 2.2-4.7 hours
Time to peak, serum: I.M.: ~1 hour
Excretion: Urine (80% to 90% as unchanged drug)
Indications & Usage
Use
Treatment of documented susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection and infections due to other susceptible aerobic gram-negative
organisms; empiric therapy of a febrile, granulocytopenic patient
Use: Unlabeled/Investigational
Bacterial endophthalmitis
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to ceftazidime, any component of the formulation, or other cephalosporins
Warnings/Precautions
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Elevated INR: May be associated with increased INR, especially in nutritionally-deficient patients, prolonged treatment, hepatic or
renal disease.
• Penicillin allergy: Use with caution in patients with a history of penicillin allergy, especially IgE-mediated reactions (eg, anaphylaxis,
angioedema, urticaria).
• Superinfection: Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial superinfection, including C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) and
pseudomembranous colitis; CDAD has been observed >2 months postantibiotic treatment.
Disease-related concerns:
• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; modify dosage in severe impairment.
• Seizure disorders: Use with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorder; high levels, particularly in the presence of renal
impairment, may increase risk of seizures.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy Risk Factor
B
Pregnancy Implications
Teratogenic effects were not observed in animal reproduction studies. Ceftazidime crosses the placenta and reaches the cord serum and
amniotic fluid. An increase in most types of birth defects was not found following first trimester exposure to cephalosporins. Maternal peak
serum concentration is unchanged in the first trimester. After the first trimester, serum concentrations decrease by approximately 50% of
those in nonpregnant patients. Renal clearance is increased during pregnancy.
Lactation
Enters breast milk/use caution (AAP rates “compatible”; AAP 2001 update pending)
Adverse Reactions
1% to 10%:
Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (1%)
Local: Pain at injection site (1%)
Miscellaneous: Hypersensitivity reactions (2%)
<1%: Anaphylaxis, angioedema, asterixis, BUN increased, candidiasis, creatinine increased, dizziness, encephalopathy, eosinophilia,
erythema multiforme, fever, headache, hemolytic anemia, hyperbilirubinemia, jaundice, leukopenia, myoclonus, nausea, neuromuscular
excitability, paresthesia, phlebitis, pruritus, pseudomembranous colitis, rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, thrombocytosis, toxic epidermal
necrolysis, transaminases increased, vaginitis, vomiting
Reactions reported with other cephalosporins: Seizure, urticaria, serum-sickness reactions, renal dysfunction, interstitial nephritis, toxic
nephropathy, elevated BUN, elevated creatinine, cholestasis, aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, agranulocytosis, colitis,
prolonged PT, hemorrhage, superinfection
Interactions
Drug Interactions: Metabolism/Transport Effects
None known.
Drug Interactions
Aminoglycosides: Cephalosporins (3rd Generation) may enhance the nephrotoxic effect of Aminoglycosides. Risk C: Monitor therapy
BCG: Antibiotics may diminish the therapeutic effect of BCG. Risk X: Avoid combination
Probenecid: May increase the serum concentration of Cephalosporins. Risk C: Monitor therapy
Sodium Picosulfate: Antibiotics may diminish the therapeutic effect of Sodium Picosulfate. Management: Consider using an alternative product
for bowel cleansing prior to a colonoscopy in patients who have recently used or are concurrently using an antibiotic. Risk D: Consider
therapy modification
Typhoid Vaccine: Antibiotics may diminish the therapeutic effect of Typhoid Vaccine. Only the live attenuated Ty21a strain is affected.
Management: Vaccination with live attenuated typhoid vaccine (Ty21a) should be avoided in patients being treated with systemic
antibacterial agents. Use of this vaccine should be postponed until at least 24 hours after cessation of antibacterial agents. Risk D:
Consider therapy modification
Vitamin K Antagonists (eg, warfarin): Cephalosporins may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Vitamin K Antagonists. Risk C: Monitor therapy
Lab Test Interactions
Positive direct Coombs', false-positive urinary glucose test using cupric sulfate (Benedict's solution, Clinitest®, Fehling's solution), falsepositive serum or urine creatinine with Jaffé reaction

Uncomplicated: 500 mg to 1 g every 8 hours
Complicated or severe: 2 g every 8 hours
Prosthetic joint infection,Pseudomonas aeruginosa(alternative to cefepime or meropenem): I.V.: 2 g every 8 hours for 4-6 weeks
(consider addition of an aminoglycoside) (Osmon, 2013)
Skin and soft tissue infections: I.V., I.M.: 500 mg to 1 g every 8 hours
Severe infections, including meningitis, complicated pneumonia, endophthalmitis, CNS infection, osteomyelitis, gynecological,
skin and soft tissue: I.V.: 2 g every 8 hours
Urinary tract infections: I.V., I.M.:
Uncomplicated: 250 mg every 12 hours
Complicated: 500 mg every 8-12 hours
Dosing: Elderly
I.M., I.V.: Dosage should be based on renal function with a dosing interval not more frequent then every 12 hours.
Dosing: Pediatric
Susceptible infections: I.V.:
Children 1 month to 12 years: 30-50 mg/kg/dose every 8 hours; maximum dose: 6 g/day (higher doses reserved for immunocompromised
patients, cystic fibrosis, or meningitis)
Children ≥12 years: Refer to adult dosing.
Dosing: Renal Impairment
Clcr 30-50 mL/minute: Administer every 12 hours
Clcr 10-30 mL/minute: Administer every 24 hours
Clcr <10 mL/minute: Administer every 48-72 hours
Intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) (administer after hemodialysis on dialysis days): Dialyzable (50% to 100%): 500 mg to 1 g every 24 hours
or 1-2 g every 48-72 hours (Heintz, 2009). Note: Dosing dependent on the assumption of 3 times per week, complete IHD sessions.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD): Loading dose of 1 g, followed by 500 mg every 24 hours
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) (Heintz, 2009; Trotman, 2005): Drug clearance is highly dependent on the method of renal
replacement, filter type, and flow rate. Appropriate dosing requires close monitoring of pharmacologic response, signs of adverse
reactions due to drug accumulation, as well as drug concentrations in relation to target trough (if appropriate). The following are
general recommendations only (based on dialysate flow/ultrafiltration rates of 1-2 L/hour and minimal residual renal function) and
should not supersede clinical judgment:
CVVH: Loading dose of 2 g followed by 1-2 g every 12 hours
CVVHD/CVVHDF: Loading dose of 2 g followed by either 1 g every 8 hours or 2 g every 12 hours. Note: Dosage of 1 g every 8 hours
results in similar steady-state concentrations as 2 g every 12 hours and is more cost effective. Dosage of 2 g every 8 hours
may be needed for gram-negative rods with MIC ≥4 mg/L (Heintz, 2009).
Note: For patients receiving CVVHDF, some recommend giving a loading dose of 2 g followed by 3 g over 24 hours as a
continuous I.V. infusion to maintain concentrations ≥4 times the MIC for susceptible pathogens (Heintz, 2009).
Dosing: Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment necessary.

Monitoring
Monitoring Parameters
Monitor renal function. Observe for signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis during first dose.
Breast-Feeding Considerations
Very small amounts of ceftazidime are excreted in breast milk. The manufacturer recommends that caution be exercised when administering
ceftazidime to nursing women. Ceftazidime in not absorbed when given orally; therefore, any medication that is distributed to human milk
should not result in systemic concentrations in the nursing infant. Nondose-related effects could include modification of bowel flora.
Patient Education
Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. Patient may experience nausea, diarrhea, or vaginal yeast
infection. Have patient report immediately to prescriber ecchymosis or rash. Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg,
wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not
a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions.
Dietary Implications
Some products may contain sodium.
