Drug & supplement interaction

Calendula + Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime

Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime brand name: Avycaz.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Calendula and Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Calendula and Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime and Calendula in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime is filed under 4 classifications — including organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates, organic anion transporter 1 (oat1) substrates, antibiotic drugs. Calendula has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being cns depressants (minor) — and none of Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Calendula and Avibactam Sodium, Ceftazidime May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A severe allergic reaction / Hives / An allergic reaction Worth acting on Additional detail

    Calendula

    “Orally, calendula can cause allergic reactions. Topically, calendula can cause eczematous allergic reactions. Calendula-specific patch testing is recommended prior to usage to determine allergenic potential. Testing is particularly necessary in individuals sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family. Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many other herbs.”

About Calendula

What is Calendula?

Calendula
  • Minor wounds and skin healing
  • Skin inflammation and irritation
  • Diaper rash
  • Mouth and throat inflammation
  • Soothing dry or chapped skin

Calendula is a flowering plant whose petals are used mainly in skin creams, oils, and ointments to soothe minor irritation and support wound healing. Some early research is promising for skin and mouth uses, but the overall evidence is limited. It is generally well tolerated on the skin, but people allergic to ragweed, daisies, or marigolds should be cautious.

Calendula officinalis · Asteraceae · Flowers (petals/florets) · Topical creams, ointments, gels, oils, tinctures, teas, mouth rinses

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Calendula is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Calendula record says about it on its own.

Calendula: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose for calendula. The amount used depends on the product and how it is being used, such as a cream, oil, tincture, or tea.The best approach is to follow the directions on the product label and to choose products from reputable brands.

About Ceftazidime and Avibactam Injection

What Is Ceftazidime and Avibactam Injection Used For?

Brand name: Avycaz

Avycaz (ceftazidime and avibactam) is used to treat three types of serious bacterial infections in adults and children at least 31 weeks gestational age: complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) including pyelonephritis (a kidney infection), and hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP). All three of these infections must be caused by specific susceptible gram-negative bacteria for Avycaz to be effective.

When treating complicated intra-abdominal infections, Avycaz must be used together with metronidazole, another antibiotic. Avycaz is only meant for infections proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria that it can actually fight — using it otherwise can lead to antibiotic resistance.
