Ceftazidime is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that works by disrupting the bacterial cell wall synthesis. Without a functional cell wall, bacteria cannot maintain their shape, and they eventually die.

The pentahydrate form helps stabilize the drug for enhanced absorption and effectiveness.
