Ceftaroline Fosamil is an antibiotic used to treat community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) in adults. It targets and kills the bacteria causing the infection.

Ceftaroline Fosamil is given intravenously (through an IV) by a doctor or a nurse, usually in a hospital or clinical setting. It is typically administered every 12 hours.

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the infection and your doctor’s recommendations. It is important to complete the full course of treatment to fully eradicate the infection and prevent resistance.

Inform your doctor about any allergies, especially to antibiotics like penicillins or cephalosporins. Ceftaroline Fosamil should be used with caution if you have a history of allergic reactions to these medications.

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions. Your provider will advise you on whether it is safe to use Ceftaroline Fosamil with your other medications.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before starting treatment with Ceftaroline Fosamil to ensure it is safe for you and your baby.

As an intravenous medication, Ceftaroline Fosamil should be stored and prepared by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. You do not need to store it at home.
