AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
AVYCAZ is a fixed-dose combination of ceftazidime (a third-generation cephalosporin) and avibactam (a beta-lactamase inhibitor) administered intravenously as a powder for reconstitution. It is indicated for treating complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), and hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) caused by susceptible Gram-negative organisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacteriaceae. The avibactam component restores ceftazidime activity against beta-lactamase-producing resistant organisms by inhibiting key beta-lactamases. AVYCAZ represents an important option for serious nosocomial infections where resistant Gram-negative pathogens limit therapeutic choices.
