Watch for Dosing Confusion with Ceftolozane/Tazobactam

March 2015

Reps will be promoting a new IV anti-infective, ceftolozane/tazobactam (Zerbaxa).

Ceftolozane/tazobactam is approved for complicated UTIs (cUTIs) and intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) in adults...and higher doses are still being studied for ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Think of it as primarily covering gram-negative bacteria...including Pseudomonas and ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
