I've been on Ceftaz IV. It smells like cat pee.
I had no clue that they have it in inhaled form now.
Wow! I have cepacia, so Ceftaz is one of the few drugs I can still take.

Not only does it smell like cat pee, it makes your sweat (body odor) smell like cat pee.

But that's just the IV solution, I'm not sure about the nebulized form.

I have used inhaled fortaz in the past. It made me feel tight in the chest but using my inhaler right before i inhaled it made it easier. I also have used doxycycline a lot, it's one of my favorite antibiotics actually...............

too true. although i dont have ceftaz i take cefepime which is very similar and smells just the same. one time when i was iv's i decided to wear my favourite perfume without remembering that i sweat cat pee. well, the perfume mixed with the cat pee sweat and boy did it smell bad! so a warning to others, dont wear perfume if you are on iv's that make you smell.

I do inhaled cephtaz- since October for my cepacia. It has been WONDERFUL. I highly recommend trying it if you have cepacia. Yeah it smells like cat pee and is gross at first to inhale, however, it does not make YOU smell like cat pee the way that the IV does. I dont know why.
