概覽

頭孢西丁是一種​第二代注射用頭孢菌素​(嚴格來說屬於頭黴素類),在獸醫學中用於治療嚴重或混合性細菌感染。

主要藥理特點包括:

  • ​抗厭氧菌效力​:與許多早期頭孢菌素不同,頭孢西丁對​厭氧菌​(包括脆弱擬桿菌 Bacteroides fragilis)具有極佳的抗菌效果。
  • ​革蘭氏陰性菌抗菌譜​:對許多可能對第一代藥物產生抗藥性的大腸桿菌 (E. coli)、克雷伯氏菌 (Klebsiella) 和變形桿菌 (Proteus) 菌株具有良好的活性。
  • ​革蘭氏陽性菌抗菌譜​:保留了對革蘭氏陽性球菌的活性,儘管在同等劑量下其效力略低於第一代頭孢菌素。

​臨床要點​:由於其強大的抗厭氧菌抗菌譜,頭孢西丁經常被選用於治療混合感染,如吸入性肺炎、腸穿孔以及嚴重的軟組織感染或敗血症。

作用機制

Cefoxitin is a bactericidal antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.

  • It covalently binds to specific ​Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs)​ located inside the bacterial cell wall.
  • Binding to PBPs → inhibits the transpeptidation enzyme responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycan strands.
  • Lack of cross-linking → weakens the bacterial cell wall → leads to osmotic instability, cell lysis, and bacterial death.
  • As a cephamycin, cefoxitin is highly resistant to degradation by many beta-lactamases, particularly those produced by Bacteroides species.

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to cephalosporins
  • Use with extreme caution in patients documented to be hypersensitive to other beta-lactams (penicillins, carbapenems)

不良反應

  • Hypersensitivity reactions (rashes, fever, eosinophilia, lymphadenopathy, anaphylaxis)
  • Pain at the injection site (IM)
  • Sterile abscesses or local tissue reactions
  • Thrombophlebitis (IV administration)
  • Antibiotic-associated diarrhea or altered gut flora
  • Superinfections
  • Nephrotoxicity (rare at clinical doses)
  • Neurotoxicity, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hepatitis (associated with high doses or prolonged use)

注意事項

Important Precautions

  • Renal Impairment: Patients in renal failure may require dosage adjustments as the drug is primarily eliminated via the kidneys.
  • Cross-Reactivity: Cross-hypersensitivity with penicillins can occur (estimated 1-15% in humans; unknown in veterinary species).
  • Administration: Causes pain on IM injection. When giving IV, administer slowly over 3-5 minutes or more to minimize adverse reactions.
  • Laboratory Interference: May cause false-positive urine glucose tests (cupric sulfate method) and falsely elevated serum/urine creatinine values (Jaffe reaction).

藥物相互作用

Aminoglycosides / Nephrotoxic Drugs

Potential for additive nephrotoxicity. While in vitro synergy exists against certain bacteria, they should not be mixed in the same syringe or fluid bag.

Probenecid

Competitively blocks the tubular secretion of cefoxitin, thereby increasing serum levels and prolonging elimination half-lives.

監測

  • Clinical efficacy (resolution of infection signs)
  • Renal function (BUN, creatinine, urinalysis) in patients with diminished renal capacity

藥物動力學

半衰期

49 minutes

吸收

Not appreciably absorbed after oral administration; must be given parenterally to achieve therapeutic serum levels.

分佈

Widely distributed. In horses, Vd at steady state is 110 mL/kg. In calves, Vd is 318 mL/kg and it is ~50% protein bound. Crosses the placenta and distributes into milk in low concentrations.

代謝

Minimal. In humans, approximately 2% of a dose is metabolized to inactive descarbamylcefoxitin.

排除

Primarily excreted unchanged by the kidneys into the urine via both tubular secretion and glomerular filtration. Elimination is significantly prolonged in severe renal failure.

過量

Acute oral cephalosporin overdoses are unlikely to cause significant problems other than gastrointestinal distress.

Massive parenteral overdoses or prolonged accumulation (especially in renal failure) may lead to:

  • Neurotoxicity (seizures)
  • Neutropenia or thrombocytopenia
  • Hepatitis
  • Nephrotoxicity (tubular necrosis)

Treatment is supportive and symptomatic.

儲存與穩定性

Store powder for injection < 30°C; do not expose to > 50°C. Frozen solutions should be stored <= -20°C. After reconstitution, stable for 24 hours at room temperature and 48 hours to 1 week if refrigerated. If immediately frozen after reconstitution, stable up to 30 weeks at -20°C. Darkening of the powder/solution does not affect potency.

飼主須知

頭孢西丁是一種強效的注射型抗生素,通常由獸醫專業人員在診所或醫院環境中給藥,用於治療嚴重或複雜的感染。

  • ​給藥方式​:由於它是透過注射給藥,您通常不需要在家中操作。如果您的寵物接受皮下 (SC) 或肌肉 (IM) 注射,注射部位可能會出現暫時性的疼痛或腫脹。
  • ​副作用​:雖然通常非常安全,但有些寵物可能會出現輕微的腹瀉或腸胃不適。
  • ​過敏反應​:如果您的寵物曾對青黴素或其他抗生素有過敏反應,或者在治療期間發現任何過敏跡象(如臉部腫脹、蕁麻疹、呼吸困難),請立即通知您的獸醫。
