Description:
ROMACEF is Ceftazidime, inhibits one of the enzymes involved in the bacterial cell wall synthesis. The loss of the stability conferred by the wall leads to the cell lysing. Ceftazidime is chemically closely related to penicillins, but not degraded by betalactamases. Ceftazidime is given only parenterally and it penetrates tissues well. Its concentration in the bile is similar to that of plasma. Its excretion is reduced in renal impairment. It is not metabolised in the liver and 80% to 90% is excreted unchanged within 24hr via the kidneys by glomerular filtration. Less that 1% is excreted via the bile.
