- Pharmacodynamics
Cefotiam is a third generation beta-lactam cephalosporin antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic that is effective against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
- Mechanism of action
The bactericidal activity of cefotiam results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Cefotiam may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abciximab The therapeutic efficacy of Abciximab can be decreased when used in combination with Cefotiam. Acamprosate The excretion of Acamprosate can be decreased when combined with Cefotiam. Aceclofenac The risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefotiam is combined with Aceclofenac. Acemetacin The risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefotiam is combined with Acemetacin. Acenocoumarol The risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefotiam is combined with Acenocoumarol. Acetaminophen Cefotiam may decrease the excretion rate of Acetaminophen which could result in a higher serum level. Acetazolamide The excretion of Cefotiam can be decreased when combined with Acetazolamide. Acetylsalicylic acid The excretion of Cefotiam can be decreased when combined with Acetylsalicylic acid.
