Contraindication Notes:
Cefoperazone is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to the Cephalosporin-class of antibiotics.
Cefoperazone is a bactericidal Cephalosporin antibiotic which is resistant to most beta-lactamases and active against a wide range of aerobic & anaerobic, Gram positive & Gram negative bacteria. The bactericidal action of Cefoperazone results from the inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cefoperazone has a high degree of stability in the presence of beta-lactamases produced by most Gram negative pathogens. Cefoperazone is usually active against organisms which are resistant to other beta-lactam antibiotics because of beta-lactamase production.
Hypersensitivity: As with all Cephalosporins, hypersensitivity manifested by skin reactions (1 patient in 45), drug fever (1 in 260), or a change in Coombs’ test (1 in 60) has been reported. These reactions are more likely to occur in patients with a history of allergies, particularly to Penicillin.
Pregnancy Category B.This drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Only low concentrations of Cefoperazone is excreted in human milk. Although Cefoperazone passes poorly into breast milk of nursing mothers, caution should be exercised when Cefoperazone is administered to a nursing woman.
Cefoperazone is extensively excreted in bile. The serum half-life of Cefoperazone is increased 2-4 fold in patients with hepatic disease and/or biliary obstruction. In general, total daily dosage above 4 gm should not be necessary in such patients. If higher dosages are used, serum concentrations should be monitored.
Children use: Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.Geriatric use: Reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
