Fortum Powder for Solution for Injections/Infusions 1g. №1

Ingredients:

Each vial contains 1g of ceftazidime (as pentahydrate).

Dosage:

The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the condition being treated. Fortum is typically administered intravenously or by deep intramuscular injection.

Indications:

Fortum is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains. These may include respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, septicemia, and more.

Contraindications:

Do not use Fortum if you have a known allergy to cephalosporin antibiotics. It should be used with caution in patients with a history of penicillin allergy.

Directions:

Fortum should be reconstituted with the appropriate diluent as directed before administration. Follow all instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Scientific Evidence:

Ceftazidime, the active ingredient in Fortum, is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic with broad-spectrum activity against many gram-negative bacteria. Studies have shown its efficacy in treating various infections, especially those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Research published in the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy demonstrated the effectiveness of ceftazidime in treating nosocomial pneumonia, showing a favorable clinical response rate in patients.

Additional Information:

It is important to complete the full course of Fortum as prescribed, even if symptoms improve before the treatment is finished. Failure to do so may result in the infection not being fully treated and the bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic.

Before using Fortum, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, ongoing medications, and allergies to ensure safe and effective treatment.
