Cefzon Injection 250 mg/vial contains Ceftazidime Pentahydrate, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic used for the treatment of a wide range of moderate to severe bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Ceftazidime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to the destruction of susceptible bacteria. This injectable antibiotic is commonly used in hospital settings for infections that require rapid and reliable antimicrobial action.

The 250 mg strength is often used for pediatric dosing or mild to moderate infections, or as part of a carefully adjusted treatment regimen under medical supervision.
