Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Cefprozil is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. Cefprozil is available in oral form and is typically taken twice a day. It is absorbed well from the gastrointestinal tract and reaches therapeutic concentrations in the blood, lungs, and other tissues. Cefprozil is primarily eliminated in the urine. The mechanism of action of cefprozil is to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. This inhibition results in the death of the bacteria. Cefprozil is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Serious side effects, such as allergic reactions and seizures, are rare. Cefprozil is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including otitis media, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and bronchitis. It is also used to treat skin infections, such as cellulitis and impetigo. Cefprozil is a valuable antibiotic for treating bacterial infections, and it is generally well-tolerated. Its importance lies in its broad spectrum of activity, oral bioavailability, and effectiveness against common respiratory and skin pathogens. Cefprozil is studied to understand its pharmacokinetic properties, safety, and efficacy in treating various infections. Studies also explore its potential interactions with other drugs and its impact on the gut microbiome.'

RoleDescription
antibacterial drugA drug used to treat or prevent bacterial infections.

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
cephalosporinA class of beta-lactam antibiotics differing from the penicillins in having a 6-membered, rather than a 5-membered, side ring. Although cephalosporins are among the most commonly used antibiotics in the treatment of routine infections, and their use is increasing over time, they can cause a range of hypersensitivity reactions, from mild, delayed-onset cutaneous reactions to life-threatening anaphylaxis in patients with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy.
semisynthetic derivativeAny organic molecular entity derived from a natural product by partial chemical synthesis.
