    Pharmacodynamics:

    Cephalosporin antibiotic - III generation for parenteral administration. It acts bactericidal, disrupting the synthesis of the cell wall of microorganisms. Has a wide range of action.

    Active in relation gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms resistant to other antibiotics: Staphylococcus spp. (incl.Staphylococcus aureus, including strains forming penicillinase), Staphylococcus epidermidis (with the exception of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus, resistant to methicillin), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes (beta-hemolytic group streptococci A), Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus), Enterococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae (including strains that form penicillinase), Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella spp. (incl. Klebsiella pneumoniae), Morganella morganii, Neisseria gonorrhoeae (including strains that form penicillinase), Acinetobacter spp.,Corynebacterium dihtheriae, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Eubacter spp., Propionibacterium spp.; Clostridium spp. (at t.h. Clostridium perfringens), Citrobacter spp., Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia spp. (at t.h. Providencia rettgeri), Serratia spp., some strains Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Neisseria meningitidis, Bacteroides spp. (at t.h. some strains Bacteroides fragilis), Fusobacterium nucleatum), Peptococcus spp., Peptostreptococcus spp. Most strains Clostridium difficile - are stable. Resistant to most beta-lactamases of gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.

    Pharmacokinetics:
    After a single intravenous (IV) dose of 1 g, the time to reach the maximum concentration (TCmax) is 5 minutes, the maximum concentration of the drug (Cmax) is about 101.7 μg / ml. After intramuscular (IM) administration in a dose of 1 g of TCmax-0.5 h and is 21 μg / ml. The connection with plasma proteins is 30-50%. Bioavailability of 90-95%. Creates therapeutic concentrations in most tissues (myocardium, bones, gallbladder, skin, soft tissues) and fluids (synovial, pericardial, pleural, sputum, bile, urine, cerebrospinal fluid) of the body. The volume of distribution is 0.25-0.39 l / kg. The half-life of the drug (T1 / 2) is 1 hour with IV injection and 1-1.5 hours with the IM injection.
    It is excreted by the kidneys - 20% - 36% unchanged, the rest - in the form of metabolites (15-25% in pharmacologically active deacetylcefotaxime and 20-25% in the form of 2 inactive metabolites).
    In chronic renal failure and in the elderly, T1 / 2 increases by 2 times.T1 / 2 in newborns - 0.75-G, 5 h, in preterm infants (body weight less than 1500 g) increases to 4.6 h, in children with a body weight of more than 1500 g - 3.4 h. For repeated intravenous doses 1 g every 6 hours for 14 days of cumulation is not observed. Cefotaxime passes through the placenta, in small concentrations penetrates into breast milk.

Duration of treatment is set individually. With the purpose of preventing the development of infection before the surgery, one is injected at the time of the initial general anesthesia, 1 g. If necessary, the administration is repeated after 6-12 hours. In cesarean section (at the time of application of the clamps on the umbilical vein) - iv, 1 g, 6 and 12 hours after the first dose - an additional 1 g. With creatinine clearance of 20 ml / min 1.73 m2 or less, the daily dose is reduced by 2 times.
