Indication
It is indicated for the treatment of infections before the infecting organism has been identified or when caused by sensitive bacteria .
When not to Use
Hypersensitivity to cephalosporin antibiotics.
Zinacef Injection Precautions
Precaution
As with other antibiotics, use of Cefuroxime may result in the overgrowth of Candida. Prolonged use may also result in the overgrowth of other non-susceptible organisms (e.g. enterococci and Clostridium difficile), which may require interruption of treatment.
Zinacef Injection Warnings
Warning 1
Special care is indicated in patients who have experienced an allergic reaction to penicillins or other beta-lactams.
Warning 2
Cephalosporin antibiotics at high dosage should be given with caution to patients receiving concurrent treatment with potent diuretics such as furosemide or aminoglycosides, as renal impairment has been reported with these combinations. Renal function should be monitored in these patients, the elderly, and those with pre-existing renal impairment .
Warning 3
With a sequential therapy regime the timing of change to oral therapy is determined by severity of the infection, clinical status of the patient and susceptibility of the pathogens involved. If there is no clinical improvement within 72 hours, then the parenteral course of treatment must be continued.
