CAS 123171-59-5|Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate
Introduction:Basic information about CAS 123171-59-5|Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate, including its chemical name, molecular formula, synonyms, physicochemical properties, and safety information, etc.
Cefepime Dihydrochloride Monohydrate is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin with enhanced coverage against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.Target: AntibacterialCefepime is an extended-spectrum parenteral cephalosporin antibiotic active in vitro against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic bacteria. Cefepime dosing was 1-4 g/day (0.5-2.0 g twice daily) for adults; ceftazidime dosing was 1-6 g/day (0.5 g every 12 hours to 2.0 g every 8 hours). A limited number of cefepime-treated patients received 2 g every 8 hours. The median length of dosing for both cefepime and ceftazidime was 7 days [1]. Cefepime has a decreased propensity to induce beta-lactamases compared with other beta-lactam antibiotics. Cefepime has a pharmacokinetic disposition similar to that of other renally eliminated cephalosporins, with a half-life of approximately 2 hours. Cefepime has demonstrated clinical efficacy against a variety of infections, including urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and skin and skin structure infections. Cefepime is generally well tolerated [2].
