ABOUT THIS MEDICINE
What is Cayston used for?
Cayston (Aztreonam Lysine) is a prescription medicine used to treat chronic lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system, leading to thick mucus buildup, which increases the risk of bacterial infections.
Cayston belongs to the monobactam class of antibiotics and works by targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reducing bacterial growth, improving lung function, and helping patients breathe more easily. It is administered via inhalation using a nebulizer and is primarily prescribed for CF patients aged 7 years and older. Regular use can help manage infections, reduce exacerbations, and improve quality of life for individuals with cystic fibrosis.
