How does Cavim 2.5gm Injection work?

Ceftazidime is a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic which acts by inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis resulting in cell lysis and death. Avibactam is a non-beta-lactam beta-lactamase inhibitor that enhances the activity of ceftazidime against infections caused by beta-lactamase producing organisms by protecting ceftazidime from degradation by certain beta-lactamase enzymes produced by resistant bacteria.

How to Use & Dosage?

Intravenous. Usually given over 2 hours. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the type and severity of the infection and on patient factors, including renal function.

This medication is given by injection into a vein or muscle every 8 to 12 hours; the dose will depend on your child’s weight and medical condition. Check for particles or discolouration before use.

Ask your healthcare provider how to prepare and store it properly. If a pre-mixed solution has been frozen, thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator and shake well. Give the antibiotic at evenly spaced intervals for optimal results.
