Pharmacology

Arixon 2 gm/vial is a 3rd generation broad-spectrum parenteral cephalosporin antibiotic. It has potent bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. Like other cephalosporins and penicillins, Arixon 2 gm/vial kills bacteria by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Arixon 2 gm/vial has a high degree of stability in the presence of beta lactamases. A remarkable feature of Arixon 2 gm/vial is its relatively long plasma elimination half-life of about 6 to 9 hours, which makes single or once-daily dosage of the drug appropriate for most patients. Arixon 2 gm/vial is not metabolized in the body. About 40-65% of a dose of Arixon 2 gm/vial is excreted unchanged in the urine; the remainder is excreted in the bile and ultimately found in the feces as unchanged drug and microbiologically inactive compound. The drug is highly protein bound (95%).
