2.3 Other hazards
Ceftaroline fosamil for Injection is being used to treat certain microbial infections. It contains ceftaroline fosamil, a pro-drug of the cephalosporin antibiotic ceftaroline. In clinical trials, diarrhea, nausea, and skin rash were the most frequently reported adverse reactions. Cephalosporins, as a class, are known occupational sensitizers and can cause potentially severe sensitization/hypersensitivity reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, bronchospasms, urticaria and pruritis have been reported in no more than 5% of patients receiving a cephalosporin. In patients with a known hypersensitivity to this class of compounds, cross-hypersensitivity can occur in up to 10% of patients.
