Identification

Summary

Pivmecillinam is a prodrug of the beta lactam antibiotic mecillinam, indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Generic Name
Pivmecillinam
DrugBank Accession Number
DB01605
Background

Pivmecillinam is a mecillinam prodrug, a pivaloyloxymethyl ester of amdinocillin that is well absorbed orally, but broken down to amdinocillin in the intestinal mucosa. It is active against gram-negative organisms and used as for amdinocillin. [PubChem]

Pharmacodynamics

Pivmecillinam is a pivaloyloxymethyl ester of amdinocillin that is well absorbed orally, but broken down to amdinocillin in the intestinal mucosa. It is active against gram-negative organisms and used as for amdinocillin.

Mechanism of action

Pivmecillinam interferes with the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall however its activity is slightly different from that of other penicillins and cephalosporins

TargetActionsOrganism
APenicillin-binding protein 1A
inhibitor
Clostridium perfringens (strain 13 / Type A)

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AcemetacinAcemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Pivmecillinam which could result in a higher serum level.
AcenocoumarolPivmecillinam may increase the anticoagulant activities of Acenocoumarol.
AmbroxolThe risk or severity of methemoglobinemia can be increased when Pivmecillinam is combined with Ambroxol.
AmikacinThe serum concentration of Amikacin can be decreased when it is combined with Pivmecillinam.
ArticaineThe risk or severity of methemoglobinemia can be increased when Pivmecillinam is combined with Articaine.
Food Interactions
  • Take with or without food. The absorption is unaffected by food.
