1 Cefprozil apollo Cefprozil apollo Cefprozil CAS Number : Molecular Weight : g/mol Molecular Formula : C18H19N3O5S Systematic (IUPAC) : (6R,7R)-7-[(2R)-2-amino-2-(4- hydroxyphenyl)acetamido]-8-oxo-3-(prop-1-en-1-yl)-5- thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid Type : small molecule Description : Cefprozil is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It can be used to treat bronchitis, ear infections, skin infections, and other bacterial infections. Categories Anti-Bacterial Agents Cephalosporins

2 Pharmacology Indication : For the treatment of the following infections (respiratory, skin, soft tissue, UTI, ENT) caused by; S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, staphylococci, S. pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci), E. coli, P. mirabilis, Klebsiella sp, coagulase-negative staph Pharmacodynamics : Cefprozil, a semisynthetic, second-generation cephalosporin, is used to treat otitis media, soft-tissue infections, and respiratory tract infections. Mechanism of action : Cefprozil, like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins; it is possible that cefprozil interferes with an autolysin inhibitor. Absorption : Oral bioavailability is approximately 95%. Volume of distribution : 0.23 L/kg Protein binding : 36% Metabolism : Cefprozil is eliminated primarily by the kidneys Half life : 1.3 hours Clearance : 3 ml/min/kg [fasting subjects] Toxicity : Single 5000 mg/kg oral doses of cefprozil caused no mortality or signs of toxicity in adult, weaning or neonatal rats, or adult mice. A single oral dose of 3000 mg/kg caused diarrhea and loss of appetite in cynomolgus monkeys, but no mortality.

3 Affected organisms : Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria Drug Class And Mechanisms Cefprozil is a semi-synthetic (partially man-made), oral antibiotic of the cephalosporin family. The cephalosporin family includes cephalexin (Keflex), cefaclor (Ceclor), cefuroxime (Zinacef),cefpodoxime (Vantin), cefixime (Suprax), and many other injectable antibiotics. Like other cephalosporins, cefprozil stops bacteria from multiplying by preventing bacteria from forming the walls that surround them. The walls are necessary to protect bacteria from their environment and to keep the contents of the bacterial cell together. Bacteria cannot survive without a cell wall. Cefprozil is active against a very wide spectrum of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes (the cause of strep throat), Hemophilus influenzae(the cause of otitis media, middle ear infection), Moraxella catarrhalis, E. coli, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella, Shigella, Clostridium perfringens and difficile, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The FDA approved Cefprozil in December Dosing Cefprozil is taken once or twice daily, depending on the nature and severity of the infection. The recommended adult dose is mg twice daily for 10 days. Some infections may be treated with 500 mg once daily. Drug Intersactions Probenecid (Benemid) may increase the blood concentration of cefprozil by decreasing excretion of cefprozil by the kidney. This interaction is sometimes used to enhance the effect of cephalosporins.

4 Combining cefprozil with aminoglycosides (for example, tobramycin) produces additive bacterial killing effects but also may increase the risk of harmful effects to the kidney. Uses Cefprozil is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This medication is known as a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.this antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu).

Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals.continue to take this medication until the fullprescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. What are the possible side effects of cefprozil (Cefzil)?

Less serious side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, mild diarrhea; stiff or tight muscles; dizziness, feeling restless or hyperactive; unusual or unpleasant taste in your mouth; diaper rash in an infant taking liquid cefprozil; mild itching or skin rash; or vaginal itching or discharge. What is the most important information I should know about cefprozil (Cefzil)? Do not take this medication if you are allergic to cefprozil, or to similar antibiotics, such as Ceftin, Keflex, Omnicef, and others. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or if you are allergic to any drugs (especially penicillins). Also tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or a history of intestinal problems.

6 Take this medication for the entire length of time prescribed by your doctor. Your symptoms may get better before the infection is completely treated.
