Cefoperazone Sodium Injection Information





Before You Use Cefozone

It is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to penicillins, sulbactam, cefoperazone, or any of the cephalosporins.

Warnings And Precautions

Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported in patients receiving beta-lactam or cephalosporin therapy. These reactions are more apt to occur in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to multiple allergens. If an allergic reaction occurs, the drug should be discontinued and the appropriate therapy instituted.

As with other antibiotics, overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms may occur during the prolonged use of CEFOZONE. It has not been extensively studied in premature infants or neonates. Therefore, in treating premature infants and neonates, the potential benefits and possible risks involved should be considered before instituting therapy.

Drug Interactions

A reaction characterized by flushing, sweating, headache and tachycardia has been reported when alcohol was ingested during and as late as the fifth day after Cefoperazone administration. A similar reaction has been reported with certain other cephalosporins and patients should be cautioned concerning ingestion of alcoholic beverages in conjunction with administration of CEFOZONE. For patients requiring artificial feeding orally or parenterally, solutions containing ethanol should be avoided.

Hepatic Impairment

In severe hepatic dysfunction, therapeutic concentrations of Cefoperazone are obtained in the bile and only a 2-to 4-fold increase in the half-life is seen. Dose modification may be necessary in case of severe biliary obstruction, severe hepatic disease or in case of renal dysfunction coexistent with either of those conditions.

Pregnancy

There are no adequate and well-conTolled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
