| Pharmacology |
Cefotetan is a semisynthetic cephamycin antibiotic that is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. The drug is highly resistant to a broad spectrum of beta-lactamases and is active against a wide range of both aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms. |
| Mechanism of Action |
The bactericidal action of cefotetan results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis. |
| Absorption |
Not Available |
| Toxicity |
Not Available |
| Protein Binding |
Cefotetan is 88% plasma protein bound. |
| Biotransformation |
No active metabolites of cefotetan have been detected; however, small amounts (less than 7%) of cefotetan in plasma and urine may be converted to its tautomer, which has antimicrobial activity similar to the parent drug. |
| Half Life |
In volunteers with reduced renal function, the plasma half-life of cefotetan is prolonged |
