Fortazim 500mg injection

Brand: Bosch

Fortazim 500mg injection is composed of Ceftazidime (500mg)

Ceftazidime is an injectable broad-spectrum third-generation cephalosporin beta-lactam antibiotic that treats or prevents bacterial infections such as pneumonia, septicemia, gynecologic infections, and  infections of joints and bone. It acts by either killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. This medication, however, does not help with flu, cold, or other viral infections.

  • If you want to use this medicine at home, make sure you understand all preparation and administration directions from your doctor.
  • Before usage, visually inspect this product for any particles or discoloration. If either of these conditions exists, avoid using the liquid.
