I am receiving Ceftazidime 2x daily for 7 days by midline IV for a chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of my kidney stones. This is my fourth course of treatment with Ceftazidime in the last 5 months. I have completed day 4 and I have begun experiencing episodes of short-term memory loss. I can't find anything in the literature to explain it. This is the second antibiotic this has happened with. ## Hello, Mickey! How are you doing? NO, I've read over the professional side effect listing provided by the FDA and there is nothing about that being a known side effect of this antibiotic. Typical side effects are listed as including abdominal cramps, nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. There is a chance that it's just a reaction that you have to ...

NEED THE GENERIC NAME FOR FORTASE IM DOING HOMEWORK FOR PHARMACY TECHNICIAN ## I'm sorry, but I can't find anything listed under this name. What country is it from?

More info on Loperamide can be found in the link below: The next closest name I could locate was Fortaz. The generic name for Fortaz is Ceftazidime.
