active substance: cefepime hydrochloride monohydrate (in terms of cefepime) - 0, 5 g, 1 g.
excipient: arginine.
Packaging
The package 1 bottle.
Pharmacological action
Chain-antibacterial agent from the group of cephalosporins IV generation. Acts bactericidal, disrupting the synthesis of the cell wall of microorganisms. It has a broad spectrum of action against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, strains resistant to aminoglycosides and/or cephalosporin antibiotics of the III generation. Highly resistant to hydrolysis of the majority of beta-lactamases and quickly penetrates into gram-negative bacterial cells. Inside the bacterial cell, the molecular target is penicillin-binding proteins.
Active in vivo and in vitro for gram-positive aerobes: Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-sensitive strains only), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes (group a), Streptococcus viridans, gram-negative aerobes: Enterobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
In vitro is active against gram-positive aerobes: Staphylococcus epidermidis (methicillin-sensitive strains only), Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Streptococcus agalactiae (group B), gram-negative aerobes: Acinetobacter lwoffii,
Citrobacter diversus, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter agglomerans, Haemophilus influenzae (including strains producing beta-lactamase), Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella oxytoca, Moraxella catarrhalis (including strains producing beta-lactamases), Morganella morganii, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia rettgeri, Providencia stuartii, Serratia marcescens.
Most Enterococcus strains, including Enterococcus faecalis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (formerly known as Xanthomonas maltophilia), Clostridium difficile are not sensitive to cefepime.

For the prevention of infection in surgical interventions on the organs of abdominal cavity: 60 minutes prior to surgery are introduced 2 g of the drug intravenously over 30 minutes. At the end of the infusion of an additional 500 mg of metronidazole intravenously. Metronidazole solutions should not be administered simultaneously with cefepime. The infusion system should be washed before the introduction of metronidazole.
During prolonged (more than 12 hours) surgical operations 12 hours after the first dose, repeated administration of 2 g of the drug intravenously for 30 minutes, followed by the introduction of 500 mg of metronidazole is recommended.
In children from 2 months to 16 years and weighing up to 40 kg the recommended dosing regimen for all indications (excluding febrile neutropenia) – 50 mg/kg every 12 hours in/in, with febrile neutropenia – 50 mg/kg every 8 h. Duration of treatment as adults (7-10 days).
In patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance<, 30=""p= "" >Patients who are on hemodialysis on the 1st day enter 1 g, then 0.5 g every 24 h for all infections and 1 g every 24 h for the treatment of febrile neutropenia. On the day of hemodialysis, the drug is administered after the hemodialysis session, it is desirable to introduce cefepime every day at the same time.
Data on the use of the drug in children with concomitant chronic renal failure are not available, however, given the similarity of pharmacokinetics in children and adults, dosing regimen (dose reduction or increase in the interval between injections) in children with chronic renal failure is similar to the dosing regimen in adults.To prepare a solution for the on / in the drug dissolved in 5 ml (0, 5 g) or 10 ml (1, 0 g) of sterile water for injection, 5% dextrose solution or 0, 9% sodium chloride solution. In/in struino injected for 3-5 minutes. For intravenous infusion, the prepared solution is combined with other solutions for intravenous infusion (0, 9% sodium chloride solution, 5% or 10% dextrose solution, ringer solution with lactate and 5% dextrose solution, the maximum concentration of 40 mg/ml) and administered for at least 30 minutes.
To prepare a solution for the/m drug is dissolved in sterile water for injection, 0, 9% sodium chloride solution, bacteriostatic water for injection with paraben or benzyl alcohol, 0, 5% and 1% lidocaine hydrochloride solution (0, 5 g in 1, 3 ml, 1, 0 g 2, 4 ml).

Special instruction
When using cefepime, pseudomembranous colitis may occur. Therefore, it is important to bear in mind this diagnosis in case of diarrhea during treatment with the drug. Light forms of colitis do not require special treatment, it is enough to stop the drug, moderate or severe cases may require special treatment.
Cross-hypersensitivity in patients with allergic reactions to penicillins is possible.
At the combined severe renal and hepatic insufficiency it is necessary to define regularly concentration of a preparation in plasma (carry out correction of a dose depending on creatinine clearance).
Long-term treatment requires regular monitoring of peripheral blood, liver and kidney functional parameters.
With mixed aerobic-anaerobic infection, a combination with drugs active against anaerobes is appropriate before identification of pathogens. Patients who have meningeal dissemination from a remote source of infection, suspected meningitis or diagnosis of meningitis is confirmed, should be prescribed an alternative antibiotic with confirmed clinical efficacy for this situation.
Possible detection of a positive Coombs test, false-positive test for glucose in the urine.
Drug interaction
Pharmacologically incompatible with other antimicrobial drugs and heparin.
Diuretics, aminoglycosides, polymyxin To reduce the tubular secretion of cefepime and increase its concentration in the blood serum, extend T1/2, increase nephrotoxicity (increased risk of nefronekroz). Cefepime increases the ototoxicity of aminoglycosides.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, slowing the excretion of cephalosporins, increase the risk of bleeding. At simultaneous appointment with bactericidal antibiotics (aminoglycosides) shows synergism with bacteriostatic (macrolides, chloramphenicol, tetracyclines) - antagonism.
Incompatible with a solution of metronidazole (before the introduction of metronidazole solution for the prevention of infections during surgery should wash the infusion system from a solution of cefepime). To avoid possible drug interaction with other drugs, solutions of cefepime (as well as most other beta-lactam antibiotics) should not be administered simultaneously with solutions of vankomycin, gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin. In the appointment of cefepime with these drugs should be administered each antibiotic separately.
