Pharmacodynamics

Cefonicid is a second-generation cephalosporin administered intravenously or intramuscularly. Its bactericidal action results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis. It is used for urinary tract infections, lower respiratory tract infections, and soft tissue and bone infections.

Mechanism of action

Cefonicid, like the penicillins, is a beta-lactam antibiotic. By binding to specific penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) located inside the bacterial cell wall, it inhibits the third and last stage of bacterial cell wall synthesis. Cell lysis is then mediated by bacterial cell wall autolytic enzymes such as autolysins.

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
AbacavirCefonicid 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 Cefonicid.
AceclofenacThe risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefonicid is combined with Aceclofenac.
AcemetacinThe risk or severity of nephrotoxicity can be increased when Cefonicid is combined with Acemetacin.
AcenocoumarolThe risk or severity of bleeding can be increased when Cefonicid is combined with Acenocoumarol.
