Salmonella spp., Shigella spp; active in vitro against most strains: Brucella, Neisseria, Aeromonas hydrophila, Yersinia enterocolitica, Providencia rettgeri, Providencia stuartii and strains of Citrobacter, Morganella and Serratia.

Inactive against Streptococcus spp. (group D), methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus spp., Corynebacterium spp. (groups J and K), Pseudomonas spp. (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Listeria monocytogenes, Acinetobacter baumannii, Clostridium difficile, Bacteroides spp.. Has weak activity against anaerobes, including most species of Bacteroides, Campylobacter, Yersinia. It is destroyed by cephalosporinases of chromosomal origin Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Bacteroides.

Pharmacokinetics

Cefpodoxime proxetil is a prodrug that is deesterified in the body (in the small intestine), turning into the active metabolite cefpodoxime.

After a single or multiple dose of 100 to 400 mg of the drug, a therapeutic concentration of 1.0-4.5 mg/l is achieved in 1.9-3.1 hours. Absolute bioavailability – 50%.

Binds to blood proteins (20-30%).

About 30-35% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine within 12 hours. T1 /2  ranges from 2.1 to 2.8 hours.

If renal function is impaired, excretion decreases: with CC 50-80 ml/min, then T1 /2  is 3.5 hours, 30-49 ml/min – 5.9 hours, 5-29 ml/min – 9.8 hours .

In elderly people, including those with bronchopulmonary infection, there is a slight increase in T1 /2  and blood concentrations, but this does not require dose adjustment.

 

Indications  for use

Chest pain, increased sweating, weakness.

 

Contraindications for use

– children’s age (up to 12 years);

– hypersensitivity to cefpodoxime, components of the drug, and other cephalosporins.

With caution in case of renal failure. For patients with  severe renal impairment  (creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min), the single dose is halved.

 

special instructions

When using cefpodoxime proxetil, like other cephalosporins, even with a careful history taking, the possibility of anaphylactic shock cannot be excluded. In patients with hypersensitivity to penicillin, the possibility of cross-allergic reactions should be remembered.

In the presence of severe persistent diarrhea, the possibility of developing pseudomembranous colitis associated with antibiotic therapy should be considered. Since this condition can be life-threatening, treatment with cefazolin should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be instituted. The use of drugs that affect peristalsis is contraindicated.

In patients with impaired renal function (creatinine clearance below 30 ml/min), the single dose is halved.

Rare cases of changes in prothrombin time have been described in patients receiving cefpodoxime proxetil. Patients with vitamin K deficiency (impaired synthesis, malnutrition) may require monitoring of prothrombin time during therapy and administration of vitamin K (10 mg/week) if the prothrombin time increases before or during therapy.

After the use of cefpodoxime proxetil, usually in doses exceeding the standard recommended, ultrasound of the gallbladder revealed shadows that were mistaken for stones. They are precipitates of the calcium salt of cefpodoxime proxetil, which disappear after completion or discontinuation of cefpodoxime proxetil therapy. Such changes rarely give any symptoms, but even in such cases only conservative treatment is recommended. If these phenomena

are accompanied by clinical symptoms, the decision to discontinue the drug is made by the attending physician.

In patients receiving cefpodoxime proxetil, rare cases of pancreatitis, possibly due to bile duct obstruction, have been described. Most of these patients already had risk factors for biliary congestion, such as previous therapy, severe illness, and total parenteral nutrition. At the same time, it is impossible to exclude the triggering role of precipitates formed under the influence of cefpodoxime proxetil in the biliary tract in the development of pancreatitis.

Caution should be exercised when prescribing cefpodoxime proxetil to neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Cefpodoxime proxetil should not be used in newborns, especially premature infants, who are at risk of developing bilirubin encephalopathy.

During long-term treatment, blood counts should be regularly monitored.

In rare cases, when treating cefpodoxime proxetil, patients may experience false-positive Coombs test results. Like other antibiotics, cefpodoxime proxetil may give a false-positive test result for galactosemia. False-positive results can also be obtained when determining glucose in urine, therefore, during therapy with cefpodoxime proxetil, glucosuria, if necessary, should be determined only by the enzyme method.

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

Use with caution during pregnancy, weighing the potential benefit to the mother against the possible risk to the fetus.

If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued.

Use in children

Contraindicated for children under 12 years of age.

 

Drug interactions

Diuretics, aminoglycosides, polymyxin B, ethacrynic acid block the secretion of cephalosporins, increase their concentration in the blood serum, prolong T1 /2 , and increase nephrotoxicity.

NSAIDs slow down the excretion of cephalosporins by the kidneys, increasing the risk of bleeding.

H2 -histamine receptor blockers reduce bioavailability due to changes in gastric pH.

Increases the effect of indirect anticoagulants (suppressing intestinal microflora, reduces the prothrombin index).

Antacids in high doses (sodium bicarbonate, aluminum hydroxide) reduce absorption.

When administered simultaneously with bactericidal antibiotics, synergism appears, with bacteriostatic ones (macrolides, chloramphenicol, tetracyclines) – antagonism, enhancing the nephrotoxicity of aminoglycosides.

 

Overdose

Symptoms:  nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, diarrhea.

Treatment:  hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, especially in cases of impaired renal function, is effective.
