auxiliary substances: nitrogen
in bottles; in the paper cartons 1 a bottle.
Pharmacological action
Pharmacological action-antibacterial, bactericidal, broad-spectrum antibacterial.
Blocks synthesis of peptidoglycan of the cell wall of sensitive microorganisms.
Pharmacodynamics
Resistant to most beta-lactamases.
Pharmacokinetics
Cmax after the / m introduction-30-45 min. T1 / 2 — 70 min.after 24 h completely excreted in the urine unchanged (most — in the first 6 h): 50% secreted in the renal tubules, about 50% — filtered in the glomeruli. When inflammation of the meninges penetrates through the BBB. In bone tissue, synovial fluid and chamber moisture concentrations exceeding the MPC for most microorganisms are created.

Infections: respiratory tract infections (acute and chronic bronchitis, infected bronchiectasis, bacterial pneumonia, lung abscess, postoperative infection of the chest cavity); ear, throat, nose; urinary tract infections (acute and chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, asymptomatic bacteriuria; soft tissue (cellulite, erysipelas); peritonitis, wound infections; bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis, arthritis); inflammatory infections in the pelvic area; gonorrhoea, septicaemia, meningitis, prevention of surgical infections.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity (including to cephalosporin antibiotics).
Side effect
Anemia, eosinophilia, leukopenia, neutropenia, positive Coombs reaction, increased activity of liver enzymes or bilirubin in the blood serum; candidiasis, pseudomembranous colitis, Allergy (skin irritation, rash, acne, urticaria, fever); thrombophlebitis (when I/V injection); pain at the injection site (at I/m introduction).
Interaction

Method of application and doses
V/m, V/V.
Adults-750 mg 3 times a day in / m or/in, in severe infections — 1.5 g 3 times a day in/in (if necessary, you can enter every 6 hours, maximum — up to 3-6 g/day). Some infections effectively assign Zinacef at a dose of 750 mg or 1.5 g 2 times per day (in/m or/in), followed by ingestion.
Children-30-100 mg/kg/day in 3-4 doses (for most infections the optimal dose — 60 mg/kg / day). Neonates 30 to 100 mg/kg/day in 2-3 reception.
Gonorrhea: 1.5 g once/m (2 injections of 750 mg in both buttocks).
Meningitis: for the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by sensitive microorganisms, Zinacef can be used as a monotherapy. Adults-3 g / in every 8 h; children-150-250 mg / kg / day in / in 3-4 admission; newborn-100 mg/kg / day in / in.
Prevention of postoperative complications in operations on the abdominal organs, pelvic and orthopaedic Zinacef at a dose of 1.5 g is injected into/in during the induction of anesthesia. After 8 and 16 h after the operation can be additionally introduced in / m 750 mg. for operations on the heart, lungs, blood vessels, esophagus during the introductory anesthesia is administered in / in a dose of 1.5 g, then 750 mg / m 3 times a day for 24-48 h. with a complete replacement of the joint 1.5 g of cefuroxime powder can be mixed with a package of polymer methylmethacrylate cement before adding a liquid polymer.
Sequential therapy
Pneumonia: 1.5 g Zinacef 2-3 times per day (in/in or/m) for 48-72 h, followed by administration of Zinnat in the dose of 500 mg 2 times a day for 7-10 days.
Exacerbation of chronic bronchitis: 750 mg Zinacef 2-3 times per day (in/in or/m) for 48-72 h, followed by the appointment Zinnat 500 mg 2 times a day for 5-10 days.
The duration of each period (parenteral therapy and oral) is determined by the severity of the infection and the General condition of the patient.
Renal failure: cefuroxime is excreted by the kidneys, with renal failure, it is recommended to reduce the dose of Zinacef (see table.). However, there is no need to reduce the standard dose (750 mg-1.5 g 3 times a day) at a value of creatinine Cl >20 ml/min.
Creatinine clearance, ml / min Dose Zinacef
>20 750 mg-1.5 g 3 times a day
10-20 750 mg 2 times a day
<10 750 mg / day
Patients who are on hemodialysis, at the end of each session of hemodialysis, it is necessary to introduce an additional dose of Zinacef, equal to 750 mg.In addition to parenteral administration, cefuroxime may be administered together with solutions for peritoneal dialysis (250 mg for every 2 liters of dialysis fluid). Patients in the intensive care unit on continuous hemodialysis using arteriovenous shunt or high-speed hemofiltration are recommended dose 750 mg 2 times a day. If hemofiltration is used at a low rate, then doses are used as in renal failure.
