Cefuroxime Sodium for Injection

Function and Efficacy

This product has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus and Bacteroides fragilis. Its mechanism of action is to show strong affinity for penicillin-binding protein, which is the usual site of action of beta-lactam antibiotics, inhibit cell wall synthesis, bind to peptidoglycan, inhibit the binding of peptidoglycan to lipoprotein to promote bacteriolysis, and show strong bactericidal power in a short time. This product shows antibacterial effect on bacteria during the proliferation period and the early stage of the stable period, and has a bactericidal effect at concentrations below the MIC, and lyses bacteria in a short time. The antibacterial power in vivo is stronger than the prediction of MIC. This product has no effect on the reproductive capacity of rat mothers, the development and differentiation of offspring, and the reproductive capacity when injected with 200-1600 mg/kg/day. Rabbits were injected with 400-1600 mg/kg/day for 5 days. In the group with more than 800 mg/kg/day, the nephrotoxicity was observed to be weaker than cefazolin, but slightly stronger than cephalothin. There is almost no antigenicity to mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. There is no immunological cross-reactivity with cefmetazole, cefazolin, penicillin G and ampicillin, and no positive Coombs' reaction is observed.

Ingredients

Indication

This product can be used to treat the following infections caused by the above-mentioned sensitive bacteria: 1 Respiratory system infections: tonsillitis, peritonsillar abscess, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, bronchiectasis (infection), secondary infection of chronic respiratory diseases, pneumonia, pulmonary suppuration. 2 Urinary system infections: pyelonephritis, cystitis. 3 Abdominal infections: cholecystitis, cholangitis, peritonitis. 4 Pelvic infections: pelvic peritonitis, adnexitis, intrauterine infection, pelvic dead cavity inflammation, parametrial tissue inflammation. 5 Sepsis.

Usage and Dosage

This product is only for intravenous injection or intravenous drip. Intravenous injection: During intravenous injection, each lg (titer) of the drug can be dissolved with 20ml of water for injection, 5% glucose injection or 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Intravenous drip: During intravenous drip, each 1g (titer) of the drug can be dissolved with 100-500ml of 5% glucose injection or 0.9% sodium chloride injection, and drip for 1-2 hours. The recommended common dose is: lg (titer) for adults each time, twice a day, which can be increased or decreased appropriately with age and symptoms. For sepsis, refractory or severe infections, it can be increased to 6g (titer) per day, divided into 3-4 doses; children are measured by body weight 20mg (titer)/kg each time, 3-4 times a day.

Adverse Reactions

Incidence: Occasionally: less than 0.1%, sometimes: 0.1-5%, common: more than 5% or unknown frequency. 1) Serious side effects ① Shock Occasionally shock occurs, so you should pay attention to observation. If you experience discomfort, foreign body sensation in the mouth, wheezing, dizziness, urge to defecate, tinnitus, sweating, etc., you should stop the drug and deal with it appropriately. ② Pancytopenia Occasionally pancytopenia occurs, so you should check regularly and pay attention to observation. If abnormalities occur, you should stop the drug and deal with it appropriately. ③ Pseudomembranous colitis Occasionally severe colitis such as pseudomembranous colitis accompanied by bloody stools occurs, so pay attention to observation. If you experience abdominal pain or frequent diarrhea, you should stop the drug and deal with it appropriately. 2) Serious side effects observed with similar drugs ① Skin mucosal eye syndrome (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), toxic epidermal necrosis (Lyell syndrome) Other cephem antibiotics have occasional reports of skin mucosal eye syndrome (Stevens-Johnson syndrome) and toxic epidermal necrosis (Lyell syndrome), so pay attention to observation. If abnormalities occur, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate treatment should be given. ② Acute renal failure Other cephem antibiotics have occasional reports of severe renal damage such as acute renal failure, so the drug should be discontinued and appropriate treatment should be given if abnormalities occur. ③ Hemolytic anemia Other cephem antibiotics have reports of hemolytic anemia, so regular examinations should be conducted, pay attention to observation, and if abnormalities occur, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate treatment should be given. ④ Interstitial pneumonia, PIE syndrome Other cephem antibiotics have occasional reports of interstitial pneumonia, PIE syndrome, etc. accompanied by fever, cough, dyspnea, abnormal chest X-ray, eosinophilia, etc. If such symptoms occur, the drug should be discontinued and adrenocortical hormone preparations should be given for appropriate treatment. 3) Other side effects ① Allergic reactions may cause rashes, and occasionally skin redness, itching, fever, etc. If such symptoms occur, the drug should be discontinued and treated appropriately. ② Kidneys may occasionally show signs of kidney damage such as increased BUN, increased blood creatinine, oliguria, and proteinuria, so regular examinations should be performed and careful observation should be observed. If oliguria, hematuria, urine protein, increased BUN, and increased blood creatinine occur, the drug should be discontinued and treated appropriately. ③ Blood may sometimes show granulocytopenia and eosinophilia, and occasionally erythropenia, decreased hematocrit, decreased hemoglobin, thrombocytopenia, and prolonged prothrombin time, so regular examinations should be performed and careful observation should be observed. If abnormalities occur, the drug should be discontinued and treated appropriately. ④ Liver may sometimes show increased GOT, GPT, and AL-P, and occasionally increased gamma-GTP, LAP, LDH, and bilirubin, as well as jaundice.

Precautions

It is contraindicated in patients with a history of allergic reactions to cefuroxime or cephem antibiotics.

Drug Interactions

This product cannot be used in combination with aminophylline or pyridoxal phosphate because it will reduce potency or color. It should not be used in combination with fursultiamine, lipoic acid, hydrocortisone sodium succinate and adenosylcobalamin because it will change color after a while. It should be used as soon as possible after combination. It may increase renal toxicity when used in combination with diuretics (such as furanilamide). Animal experiments have confirmed that this product affects alcohol metabolism, increases blood acetaldehyde concentration, and shows a disulfiram-like effect. Therefore, alcohol should be avoided during or after medication.

Storage

Keep away from light, tightly closed, in a cool and dry place.
