How Does It Work?

• Ceftazidime acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is essential for their survival. Therefore, it leads to the death of the cell. Hence, it helps stop the growth of bacteria and prevent infection.
• Tazobactam is a medication that enhances the effectiveness of certain antibiotics. It does this by blocking an enzyme (called beta-lactamase) made by some bacteria that can destroy antibiotics. By inhibiting this enzyme, tazobactam protects the antibiotic and enhances its ability to kill bacteria more effectively.
