Drug maker Alkem Laboratories on Monday said it has launched an antibiotic drug to treat multiple drug resistance infections.

The company's product Zidavi is a novel combination of ceftazidime & avibactam and is indicated for various ailments like complicated urinary tract infections.

With the rise in infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative organisms in India, there is a need for more effective antibiotic treatment.

The available evidence suggests that Zidavi (ceftazidime-avibactam) is a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of infections complicated by multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms, Alkem Laboratories said in a statement.
