How Does It Work?

• Ceftriaxone acts by killing the bacteria responsible for infections.
• However, bacteria make an enzyme (beta-lactamases) that can destroy ceftriaxone.
• Tazobactam inactivates this enzyme, thereby helping it to function optimally.

Interactions with other medicines

• Some medicines can affect the way the Ceftizone Injection works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
• Ceftizone Injection should never be given along with Ringer's or Hartmann's solution.
• This Injection alters the action of oral contraceptives. Thus it is advisable to use alternative contraceptive measures like condoms when you are taking this medicine.
• Ceftizone Injection should never be given through the IV line through which calcium-containing solutions are given.
