Dosage adjustment may be required; consult physician based on creatinine clearance.
How to Take
Administered via slow intravenous (IV) infusion (over 30 minutes) or deep intramuscular (IM) injection.
Mechanism of Action
Works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 30 minutes after IV administration.
Excretion
Primarily excreted unchanged via urine and bile.
Half life
Approximately 6-9 hours.
Absorption
Rapidly and completely absorbed after intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration.
Metabolism
Partially metabolized in the liver to inactive metabolites.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins, Inoxon, or any component of the formulation.
- History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any other beta-lactam antibiotic (e.g., penicillin).
Drug Interactions
Probenecid
May increase Inoxon's plasma concentration and prolong its half-life by reducing renal excretion.
Aminoglycosides
Increased risk of nephrotoxicity, especially with concurrent use.
Oral Anticoagulants
May potentiate the anticoagulant effect, requiring close monitoring of INR.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a dry place, protected from light. Keep out of reach of children. Do not freeze.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and convulsions. Management includes symptomatic and supportive measures. Hemodialysis is not likely to be beneficial in removing Inoxon.
