Side effects of Ceftazidime 2 in details

Ceftazidime 2 is generally well tolerated. The incidence of adverse reactions associated with the administration of Ceftazidime 2 was low in clinical trials. The most common were local reactions following IV injection and allergic and gastrointestinal reactions. Other adverse reactions were encountered infrequently. No disulfiram-like reactions were reported.

The following adverse effects from clinical trials were considered to be either related to Ceftazidime 2 therapy or were of uncertain etiology:

Local Effects, reported in fewer than 2% of patients, were phlebitis and inflammation at the site of injection (1 in 69 patients).

Hypersensitivity Reactions, reported in 2% of patients, were pruritus, rash, and fever. Immediate reactions, generally manifested by rash and/or pruritus, occurred in 1 in 285 patients. Toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and erythema multiforme have also been reported with cephalosporin antibiotics, including Ceftazidime 2. Angioedema and anaphylaxis (bronchospasm and/or hypotension) have been reported very rarely.

Gastrointestinal Symptoms, reported in fewer than 2% of patients, were diarrhea (1 in 78), nausea (1 in 156), vomiting (1 in 500), and abdominal pain (1 in 416). The onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after treatment.

Central Nervous System Reactions (fewer than 1%) included headache, dizziness, and paresthesia.

Seizures have been reported with several cephalosporins, including Ceftazidime 2. In addition, encephalopathy, coma, asterixis, neuromuscular excitability, and myoclonia have been reported in renally impaired patients treated with unadjusted dosing regimens of Ceftazidime 2.

Less Frequent Adverse Events (fewer than 1%) were candidiasis (including oral thrush) and vaginitis.

Hematologic

Rare cases of hemolytic anemia have been reported.

Laboratory Test Changes noted during clinical trials with Ceftazidime 2 (Ceftazidime 2 for injection, USP) were transient and included: eosinophilia (1 in 13), positive Coombs test without hemolysis (1 in 23), thrombocytosis (1 in 45), and slight elevations in one or more of the hepatic enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT) (1 in 16), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, SGPT) (1 in 15), LDH (1 in 18), GGT (1 in 19) and alkaline phosphatase (1 in 23). As with some other cephalosporins, transient elevations of blood urea, blood urea nitrogen, and/or serum creatinine were observed occasionally.

What is the most important information I should know about Ceftazidime 2?

• Ceftazidime 2 may cause dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Ceftazidime 2 with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Ceftazidime 2 only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
• Be sure to use Ceftazidime 2 for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
• Long-term or repeated use of Ceftazidime 2 may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
• Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur during treatment or within several months after treatment with Ceftazidime 2. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
