Cefazolin Sodium for Injection

Function and Efficacy

Cefazolin is a first-generation cephalosporin with a broad antibacterial spectrum. Except for Enterococcus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus, this product has good antibacterial activity against other Gram-positive cocci, and Streptococcus pneumoniae and hemolytic Streptococcus are highly sensitive to this product. Diphtheria Corynebacterium, anthrax Bacillus, Listeria and Clostridium are also very sensitive to this product. This product has good antibacterial activity against some Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae, but has poor antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus. Salmonella typhi, Shigella and Neisseria are sensitive to this product, while other Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are resistant. Enzyme-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae is resistant to this product; Haemophilus influenzae is only moderately sensitive. Gram-positive anaerobes and some Gram-negative anaerobes are mostly sensitive to this product. Bacteroides fragilis is resistant.

Ingredients

The main ingredient of this product is cefazolin sodium, and its chemical name is (6R,7R)-3-[[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio]methyl]-7-[(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)acetylamino]-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid sodium salt

Appearance

This product is white or off-white powder or crystalline powder; odorless.

Indication

It is suitable for the treatment of respiratory tract infections such as otitis media, bronchitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, sepsis, infective endocarditis, hepatobiliary system infections, and eye, ear, nose, and throat infections caused by sensitive bacteria.

The efficacy is poor for chronic urinary tract infections, especially those with urinary tract anatomical abnormalities. This product is not suitable for the treatment of gonorrhea and syphilis.

Usage and Dosage

Common adult dose: slow intravenous push, intravenous drip or intramuscular injection, 0.5-1g at a time, 2-4 times a day. Severe infection can be increased to 6g a day, divided into 2-4 intravenous administrations. Common child dose: 50-100 mg/kg a day, divided into 2-3 slow intravenous pushes, intravenous drips or intramuscular injections. When the creatinine clearance rate of patients with renal impairment is greater than 50 ml/min, the drug can still be administered at a normal dose. When the creatinine clearance rate is 20-50 ml/min, 0.5g every 8 hours; when the creatinine clearance rate is 11-34 ml/min, 0.25g every 12 hours; when the creatinine clearance rate is less than 10 ml/min, 0.25g every 18-24 hours. The first dose for all patients with varying degrees of renal impairment is 0.5g. When children with renal impairment use cefazolin, first give 12.5 mg/kg, followed by maintenance doses. When the creatinine clearance is above 70 ml/min, it can still be given at normal doses; when the creatinine clearance is 40-70 ml/min, 12.5-30 mg/kg per body weight every 12 hours; when the creatinine clearance is 20-40 ml/min, 3.1-12.5 mg/kg per body weight every 12 hours; when the creatinine clearance is 5-20 ml/min, 2.5-10 mg/kg per body weight every 24 hours. When this product is used to prevent postoperative infection, it is generally given by intramuscular or intravenous injection 0.5-1 hour before surgery. If the operation time exceeds 6 hours, 0.5-1g is added during the operation, and 0.5-1g is given every 6-8 hours after the operation until 24 hours after the operation.

Adverse Reactions

1. The incidence of thrombophlebitis and pain in the intramuscular injection area after intravenous injection is less and milder than that of cephalothin. 2. The incidence of drug rash is 1.1%, the incidence of eosinophilia is 1.7%, and drug fever occasionally occurs. 3.
