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.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-Bacterial Agents

Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)


5.3 FDA Pharmacological Classification
5.3.1 Active Moiety
CEFOXITIN
5.3.2 FDA UNII
6OEV9DX57Y
5.3.3 Pharmacological Classes
Cephalosporins [CS]; Cephalosporin Antibacterial [EPC]
5.4 ATC Code

J - Antiinfectives for systemic use

J01 - Antibacterials for systemic use

J01D - Other beta-lactam antibacterials

J01DC - Second-generation cephalosporins

J01DC01 - Cefoxitin


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.
