Abstract: OBJECTIVE To inspect the stability of compatibility of ceftazidime and diprophyline in four kinds of infusions in 6 hours at room temperature. METHODS The contents of ceftazidime in all kinds of infusions were determined by double wavelength spectrophotometry. RESULTS The contents of ceftazidime degraded less than 1% in 6 hours after ceftazidime was admixed with the four kinds of infusions alone. Ceftazidime and diprophylline admixed with the four kinds of infusions, respectively,They did not degrade further. CONCLUSION The contents of ceftazidime in these mixtures kept the relatively stability.
