THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
ANTIBIOTIC
ACTIONS AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
CEFZIL (cefprozil) is a semi synthetic broad spectrum cephalosporin
antibiotic intended for oral
administration. It has
_in vitro_
activity against a broad range of gram positive and gram negative
bacteria.
The bactericidal action of cefprozil results from inhibition of
cell-wall synthesis.
Pharmacokinetics
Cefprozil is well absorbed following oral administration in both
fasting and non-fasting subjects. The
oral bioavailability of cefprozil is about 90%. The pharmacokinetics
of cefprozil are not altered when
administered with meals, or when co-administered with antacid. Average
plasma concentrations after
administration of cefprozil to fasting subjects are shown in the
following table. Urinary recovery
accounts for 60% of the administered dose.

Data represent mean values from 12 healthy, young male volunteers.
During the first four-hour period after drug administration, the
average urine concentrations following the
250 mg, 500 mg, and 1 g doses were approximately 170 μg/mL, 450
μg/mL and 600 μg/mL, respectively.
The average plasma half-life in normal subjects is 1.3 hours. Plasma
protein binding is approximately
36% and is independent of concentration in the range of 2 μg/mL to 20
μg/mL. There is no evidence of
accumulation of cefprozil in the plasma in individuals with normal
renal function
