Pharmacology
- Indication

- Associated Conditions

- Pharmacodynamics
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 by binding and inhibiting the bacterial penicillin binding proteins which help in the cell wall biosynthesis.
Target Actions Organism APenicillin-binding protein 3 inhibitorStreptococcus pneumoniae - Absorption
- Not Available
- Volume of distribution
- 10.4 L [elderly patients (greater than 65 years) with normal renal function]
- 10.3 L [healthy volunteers (aged 25 to 28 years)]
- Protein binding
Cefotetan is 88% plasma protein bound.
- Metabolism
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.
- Route of elimination
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. In normal patients, from 51% to 81% of an administered dose of Cefotetan is excreted unchanged by the kidneys over a 24 hour period, which results in high and prolonged urinary concentrations.
- Half life
In volunteers with reduced renal function, the plasma half-life of cefotetan is prolonged
- Clearance
- 1.8 +/- 0.1 L/h [elderly patients with normal renal function (.65 years)]
- 1.8 +/- 0.3 L/h [healthy volunteers (aged 25 to 28 years)]

Interactions
- Drug Interactions
Drug Interaction (R)-warfarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefotetan is combined with (R)-warfarin. (S)-Warfarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefotetan is combined with (S)-Warfarin. 4-hydroxycoumarin The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefotetan is combined with 4-hydroxycoumarin. Abacavir Cefotetan may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abciximab The therapeutic efficacy of Abciximab can be decreased when used in combination with Cefotetan. Acarbose Cefotetan may decrease the excretion rate of Acarbose which could result in a higher serum level. Aceclofenac Cefotetan may decrease the excretion rate of Aceclofenac which could result in a higher serum level. Acemetacin Acemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Cefotetan which could result in a higher serum level. Acenocoumarol The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefotetan is combined with Acenocoumarol. Acetaminophen Cefotetan may decrease the excretion rate of Acetaminophen which could result in a higher serum level. - Food Interactions
- Avoid alcohol as it can cause a disulfiram effect.
