Cefixime Tablets

Function and Efficacy

1 Pharmacological action: This product is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which has antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially against Streptococcus (except Enterococcus) and Pneumococcus among Gram-positive bacteria, and gonococci, Branhamella, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Serratia, Proteus, and influenza bacilli among Gram-negative bacteria. Its mechanism of action is bactericidal. This product has extremely strong stability against β-lactamase produced by various bacteria, and shows excellent antibacterial activity against bacteria producing β-lactamase. The mechanism of action of this product is to prevent the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Its action point varies according to the strain, and it has a high affinity with 1 (la, lb, 1c) and 3 in penicillin binding protein (PBP). 2 Toxicological studies (1) Acute toxicity (LD50mg/kg) (2) Subacute and chronic toxicity Adult SD rats were orally administered with 100, 320 and 1,000 mg/kg for 13 weeks, and adult dogs were orally administered with 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg for 5 weeks. No abnormalities were found in all experiments. For immature SD rats (aged 4 days) who were orally administered with 10,000 mg/kg or more for 22 days, spermatocyte reduction was found in the group with a dose of 10,000 mg/kg or more, and weight gain inhibition accompanied by a decrease in testicular weight was found in the group with a dose of 3,200 mg/kg. However, the above situation was not found in the experiment in which immature rats of 21 days of development were orally administered with 3,200 mg/kg for 5 weeks and immature dogs were orally administered with 100, 200, 400 mg/kg for 5 weeks. In an experiment in which adult SD rats were orally administered 100, 320 and 1,000 mg/kg for 53 weeks, the dosage was changed and it was found that the weight gain of female rats was inhibited when they were administered 1,000 mg/kg, and the amount of urine protein in male rats increased. Kidney weight increase and chronic kidney disease were enhanced. (3) Effects on the reproductive system SD rats were orally administered 100-1,000 mg/kg before pregnancy and early pregnancy, and 320-3,200 mg/kg during the organ formation period, perinatal period and lactation period to observe its effects on the reproductive system. The results showed that it did not affect the reproductive capacity of rats and had teratogenic effects, and no abnormalities were found in the growth, development and reproductive capacity of newborn rats. 3 Effects on the kidneys Rabbits were orally administered 1,000 mg/kg at a time to observe its effects on the kidneys, and no abnormalities were found. SD rats were orally administered 560 mg/kg and used together with diuretics for 2 consecutive weeks. No abnormal conditions occurred after medication, nor did the renal function deteriorate due to diuretics. 4 Antigenicity The antigenicity of this drug to various animals is the same as or slightly weaker than that of cephalexin. This drug does not induce antigenicity, nor is it cross-immune with cephalexin, cefaclor and cefotaxime.
