What is Zerbaxa?

Zerbaxa contains a combination of the prescription medicines ceftolozane and tazobactam. It is an antibiotic used for the treatment of patients 18 years of age or older, specifically for:

• Complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) – Zerbaxa is used in combination with metronidazole
• Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, Including Pyelonephritis
• Hospital-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia And Ventilator-Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP/VABP)

Zerbaxa should only be used for the treatment of, or prevention of infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria not resistant to ceftolozane or tazobactam. This is to reduce the chance of drug-resistant bacteria developing and to make sure Zerbaxa and other anti-bacterial drugs remain effective.

Zerbaxa is mixed with a liquid and then further diluted with another liquid in an IV bag, it is then given as an infusion into a vein. Zerbaxa mixed in an IV bag must be used within 24 hours if you are keeping it at room temperature, or within 7 days if you keep it in a refrigerator.

Zerbaxa active ingredients

Ceftolozane belongs to the class of antibacterial drugs called cephalosporin. Ceftolozane is highly attracted to and attaches itself to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Ceftolozane blocks the action of PBPs of P. aeruginosa and E. coli. ultimately stopping the formation of cell walls and killing the bacteria.

Tazobactam has an irreversible blocking action on some beta-lactamases. Beta-lactamase enzymes normally break down antibiotics, making the antibiotic ineffective and making the bacteria resistant to the antibiotic. Tazobactam also attaches itself to chromosomal and plasmid-mediated bacterial beta-lactamase enzymes, this also helps to prevent bacterial resistance to the antibiotic.
