Pharmacology
Indication Used to treat female gynecologic and obstetric infections caused by susceptible aerobic (including the gonococcus) and anaerobic bacteria.
Mechanism of action The bactericidal activity of cefmenoxime results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Cefmenoxime is stable in the presence of a variety of b-lactamases, including penicillinases and some cephalosporinases.
Absorption Bioavailability is approximately 100% following intramuscular injection.
Protein binding 50-70%
Biotransformation Not appreciably metabolized.
Route of elimination Not Available
Toxicity Information on cefmenoxime overdosage in humans is not available. However, with other b-lactam antibiotics, adverse effects following overdosage have included nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, diarrhea, and convulsions.
Affected organisms
  • Enteric bacteria and other eubacteria
