    4.2 Drug Indication

    For the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains microorganisms.

    FDA Label

    5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
    5.1 Pharmacology

    Cefoxitin is a cephamycin antibiotic often grouped with the second-generation cephalosporins. It is active against a broad range of gram-negative bacteria including anaerobes. The methoxy group in the 7a position provides cefoxitin with a high degree of stability in the presence of beta-lactamases, both penicillinases and cephalosporinases, of gram-negative bacteria.

    5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

    Route of Elimination

    Approximately 85 percent of cefoxitin is excreted unchanged by the kidneys over a 6-hour period, resulting in high urinary concentrations. Cefoxitin passes into pleural and joint fluids and is detectable in antibacterial concentrations in bile.

    5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

    Minimal (approximately 85 percent of cefoxitin is excreted unchanged by the kidneys over a 6-hour period).

    5.7 Biological Half-Life

    The half-life after an intravenous dose is 41 to 59 minutes.

    5.8 Mechanism of Action

    The bactericidal action of cefoxitin results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
