Pharmacodynamics

Cefpiramide is a cephalosporin active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. Cefpiramide works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. The plasma half-lives of cefpiramide in rabbits, dogs, and rhesus monkeys were much longer than those of cefoperazone and cefazolin.

Mechanism of action

The bactericidal activity of cefpiramide results from the inhibition of cell wall synthesis via affinity for penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs).

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbacavirCefpiramide may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level.
AbciximabThe therapeutic efficacy of Abciximab can be decreased when used in combination with Cefpiramide.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefpiramide is combined with Aceclofenac.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefpiramide is combined with Acemetacin.
AcenocoumarolThe risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefpiramide is combined with Acenocoumarol.
