ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Cefoxitin is a cephamycin derived from cephamycin C. Evidence from
_in vitro _
studies suggests
that cefoxitin exerts its bactericidal action through the inhibition
of bacterial cell wall synthesis.
Studies have indicated that the resistance of cefoxitin to degradation
by bacterial beta-lactamases
is due to the methoxy group in the 7 α position.
After intravenous or intramuscular administration of a 1 g dose, high
serum concentrations are
attained which rapidly decline to about 2 mcg/mL at 3 hours in persons
with normal renal function.
The area under the plasma level-time curve is comparable after bolus
injection or intravenous
infusion over a period of 120 minutes.
