Question 1

How many brands of Ceftazidime are registered in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

We list 9 Ceftazidime products from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products — of which 5 have a currently active registration, including 1 combination product that pairs Ceftazidime with other ingredients. They are produced by manufacturers including Chinare Ani Pharmaceuticals, Dortemag Ventures, Precious Trust, Solution Pharmaceuticals Nigeria, Chez Resources Pharmaceutical, among others. Combination products, and registrations the Greenbook currently lists as inactive, are clearly marked — Greenbook listings can lag renewals, so always confirm the number printed on the pack. Because it is drawn from the live register, this is far more complete than a typical brand list.

Question 2

Who manufactures Ceftazidime in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

5 companies hold active Ceftazidime registrations in the NAFDAC Greenbook. They include Chinare Ani Pharmaceuticals, Dortemag Ventures, Pfizer, Precious Trust. The "applicant" recorded in the Greenbook is the registration holder — usually the manufacturer or its Nigerian representative — and the full table above shows the applicant for every registered product.

Question 3

Are all these Ceftazidime brands genuine?

Accepted Answer

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook. However, counterfeiters sometimes copy a genuine NAFDAC number onto a fake product, so always confirm that the brand, manufacturer (applicant), and strength printed on the pack match the record before you buy, and purchase only from licensed pharmacies.

Question 4

How much do Ceftazidime brands cost in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Ceftazidime brand prices in Nigeria vary by brand, strength, and where you buy it — imported brands are often more expensive than locally manufactured ones. Confirm the current price with a licensed pharmacy, and see the price guide on the main Ceftazidime page.
