Uses

Used to treat female gynecologic and obstetric infections caused by susceptible aerobic (including the gonococcus) and anaerobic bacteria.

How Cefmenoxima works

The bactericidal activity of cefmenoxime results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cefmenoxima is stable in the presence of a variety of b-lactamases, including penicillinases and some cephalosporinases.

Toxicity

Information on cefmenoxime overdosage in humans is not available. However, with other b-lactam antibiotics, adverse effects following overdosage have included nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, diarrhea, and convulsions.

Elimination Route

Bioavailability is approximately 100% following intramuscular injection.

Half Life

1 hour
