A member asked:
Can azactam (aztreonam) injection cause decreased renal function in elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but minor: This is not a major risk but it can cause some elevation in serum creatinine. If it is being used in someone with preexisting kidney disease then the dose needs to be lowered for treatment.
