What is Tazicef?

Tazicef is a brand-name prescription antibiotic that treats a broad spectrum of bacterial infections: pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, uterine infections, joint infections, bone infections, and meningitis, an infection of the central nervous system. Tazicef also treats bacterial septicemia, a bacterial infection of the bloodstream.

The active ingredient in Tazicef, ceftazidime, belongs to a class of drugs called cephalosporins that kill bacteria in the same way penicillin does. It interferes with the bacteria's ability to form a cell wall. As a result, holes appear in the cell wall, and the contents of the bacteria cell spill out, killing the bacteria. Tazicef belongs to the generation of cephalosporins that can effectively work against a broad spectrum of bacteria including drug-resistant bacteria.

Tazicef is given every 8 to twelve hours as an intravenous or deep intramuscular injection by a healthcare professional.

What are the side effects of Tazicef?

The most common side effects of Tazicef are temporary site reactions to the injection. These include pain, irritation, redness, and soreness. Other common side effects of Tazicef are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, upset stomach, and headache. Tazicef has no reported side effects regarding mood or cognitive function.

Tazicef allergies are rare but could involve severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrosis. Talk to your doctor immediately if you notice signs of a skin reaction such as a dark rash, facial swelling, fever, or swollen throat.
