Adults
2-4 g / day, divided into two injections, every 12 hours. In severe infections, the dose can be increased to 8 g / day, divided into two injections, every 12 hours.When a dose of 12 g / day or even 16 g / day was given in equal parts in 3 divided doses every 8 hours, no complications were found. Therapy can begin before the results of sowing and other laboratory tests.
In uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis, a single intramuscular injection of 500 mg of the drug is recommended.
The drug is injected intramuscularly into the large gluteus muscle or the anterior surface of the thigh.
When i / in the jet slow introduction, the maximum single the dose of the drug is 2 g; duration of administration - at least 3-5 minutes. The duration of IV infusion is 15-60 minutes.
Prevention of postoperative complications
Apply 1 g or 2 g of IV in 30-90 minutes before the operation. If necessary, the administration of the drug can be repeated every 12 hours (in most cases for no more than 24 hours). In case of operations with an increased risk of infection (for example, in colorectal surgery), or if the infection is particularly dangerous (for example, in open-heart surgery or joint replacement), the drug can be prevented for 72 hours after the operation is completed.
When a violation of liver function
Correction of the dose may be required in case of severe obstruction of the bile duct, severe hepatic insufficiency or with concomitant renal dysfunction. The daily dose should not exceed 2 g, while there is no need to monitor the concentration of the drug in the blood serum.
In case of impaired renal function
Because the cefoperazone is mainly excreted not through the kidneys, then when applied in therapeutic doses (2-4 g / day), dose adjustment is not required. For patients who have a glomerular filtration rate below 18 ml / min or a serum creatinine concentration above 3.5 mg / dL, the daily dose should not exceed 4 g. When hemodialysis, the half-life of cefoperazone decreases slightly, so the drug should be administered after the end dialysis.
When the liver and kidney function is impaired
In the case of a simultaneous violation of the liver and kidneys, you should monitor the concentration of cefoperazone in the blood serum and, if necessary, adjust the dose. If the daily dose does not exceed 2 g, there is no need to monitor serum concentrations.
Use in children
50-200 mg / kg of body weight / day in equal parts every 8-12 hours.The maximum dose should not exceed 12 g / day.
With intravenous infusion of slow injection, the maximum single dose is 50 mg / kg of body weight; duration of administration - at least 3-5 minutes.
Application in newborns (age less than 8 days)
50-200 mg / kg of body weight / day. The daily dose is administered in equal portions every 12 hours.
Preparation of solutions
Intramuscular injection
To prepare solutions, sterile or bacteriostatic water for injections is used. If it is necessary to prepare a solution with a concentration of 250 mg / ml or more, a lidocaine solution is recommended for dilution, which is prepared by diluting 2% lidocaine solution in sterile water for injection (approximate concentration of lidocaine hydrochloride in the resulting solution is 0.5%). It is recommended to dilute the drug in two stages: 1) first add the necessary amount of sterile water for injection and shake until the powder is completely dissolved, 2) then add the necessary amount of 2% lidocaine solution and mix.
The final concentration of cefoperazone | 1 stage Sterile water volume | 2 stage Volume of 2% of lidocaine | Entered volume * |
250 mg / ml | 2.6 ml | 0.9 ml | 4.0 ml |
333 mg / ml | 1.8 ml | 0.6 ml | 3.0 ml |
* Excess volume allows to completely fill the syringe of the specified volume.
Intravenous administration
General recommendations
The preparation of the solution is carried out in two stages:
- The contents of the vial are first diluted in any of the following compatible solutions for intravenous administration (at a rate of at least 2.8 ml per 1 g of cefoperazone):
- 5% dextrose solution for injection,
- 10% dextrose solution for injection,
- 5% dextrose solution in a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride for injection,
- 0.9% solution of sodium chloride for injection,
- Normosol M in a 5% solution of dextrose for injection,
- 5% dextrose solution in 0.2% solution of sodium chloride for injection,
- Normosol R,
- sterile water for injections.
To facilitate dissolution, it is recommended to use 5 ml of solvent per 1 g of cefoperazone.
2. Then the entire amount of the resulting solution is further diluted in one of the following solutions:
- 5% dextrose solution for injection,
- 10% dextrose solution for injection,
- 5% dextrose solution in Ringer's lactate solution for injection,
- Ringer's lactate solution,
-0,9% solution of sodium chloride for injection,
- 5% dextrose solution in a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride for injection,
- Normosol M in a 5% solution of dextrose for injection,
- Normosol R,
- 5% dextrose solution in 0.2% solution of sodium chloride for injection.
Intravenous drip introduction
The contents of one vial are dissolved in 20-100 ml of a compatible sterile solution for
in / in injections. Infusion is carried out for 15 minutes to 1 hour. When applied as aof the solvent of sterile water for injection, its volume should not exceed 20 ml.
Prolonged intravenous infusion
The contents of one vial (1 g) are dissolved in 5 ml of sterile water for injection or bacteriostatic water for injection; the resulting solution is added to the corresponding solution for iv administration.
Intravenous Jet Slow Injection
The maximum dose of cefoperazone should not exceed 2 g per administration in adults and 50 mg / kg of body weight in children. The drug is dissolved in a suitable solvent (final concentration of 100 mg / ml) and injected for at least 3-5 minutes.
