Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics Fagotsef allows you to know the specific behavior of the drug in the body. That is, the metabolism of the drug, its absorption and the period of excretion and distribution. After use, the drug is absorbed by the body for five minutes. So, with a single injection of the ampoule of the drug in 1000 mg, the concentration of the drug in the blood reaches 100 μg / ml. Bactericidal concentration of the drug in the blood is kept for twelve hours.

70% of the drug is excreted in the urine. The remaining part of the drug leaves the body with bile and in the form of metabolites. On average, the half-life of the drug does not exceed one hour. If the drug is prescribed to elderly patients or patients with renal insufficiency, then the time of elimination of the drug is doubled. The drug can also be administered to newborns, in this case, the elimination time reaches 1.5 hours, and for newborn babies, this time reaches 6.5 hours.

Dosing and administration

The method of administration and dose of the drug is prescribed by the doctor and depends on which infectious disease is to be treated. Before starting treatment, you need to check the body's response to the drug. Thus, all patients who are prescribed phagocetus, undergo a skin test for sensitivity to lidocaine. The drug is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Typically, for an average dose of the drug, 1000 mg of phagecepha and 4 ml of sterile water for injection are dissolved. The drug is administered with a syringe or a dropper is made for 3-6 minutes.

  • For children - for children up to 7 days of life, a drug of 50 mg / kg of body weight is administered, every 12 hours. For newborns, one month old, the drug is administered at 50 mg per kg of body weight every 8 hours. For children from one year to 12 years weighing less than 50 kg, the drug is prescribed in a dose of 50 to 180 mg / kg. The exact dose depends on the disease. The drug is administered throughout the day, the number of injections can be from 4 to 6. The maximum dose of the drug should not exceed 12 g, that is 200 mg per kg per day.
  • For adults, the drug is taken every 12 hours to 102 g. The main condition for taking the drug is uncomplicated infectious diseases. If the patient has a moderate disease, then the drug is used every 8 hours, and the dose of the drug is 1-2 g. In case of serious infections of an infectious nature, the phagocaff is taken up to four times a day with a dose of 2 g. Note that the maximum dose of the drug in day is 8 g.

  • Digestive system - nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, pseudomembranous colitis.
  • Neuropleenia, eosinophilia, hemolytic anemia.
  • Cardiovascular system - an arrhythmia (can arise at fast introduction of a preparation).

Overdose

Overdosing with the drug causes a number of complications and quite unpleasant reactions of the body. The most common diagnosis, which is put with an overdose of phageceph - reversible encephalopathy. Antidote, which would protect the body from an overdose, does not exist, in this case, symptomatic therapy is used. Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis with an overdose have no effectiveness.

Interactions with other drugs

The interaction of phageceph with other drugs is possible with complex treatment. If the patient is treated concomitantly with severe diuretics, aminoglycosides or polymyxin, the risk of developing reversible renal failure is increased.

When the body is treated with phagocyte and cefotaxime, solutions of aminoglycosides should not be used. Drugs must be taken separately. With the simultaneous administration of nifedipine and phagecep, the bioavailability of the drug increases by approximately 70%. Probenecid promotes blockage of the tubular secretion of phagecepha and increases the half-life of the drug.
