PHARMACODYNAMICS:
Cloxacillin is an isoxazolyl penicillin and is resistant to
staphylococcal penicillinase. It exerts its killing action on gro wing
and dividing bacteria by inhibiting bacterial cell wall
synthesis. Bacterial cell walls are held rigid and protected against
osmotic rupture by peptidoglycan. Cloxacillin inhibits the final
cross-linking stage of peptidoglycan production by
binding to and inactivating transpeptidases, penicillin-binding
proteins on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane. Other
mechanisms involved include bacterial lysis by the
inactivation of endogenous inhibitors of bacterial autolysins.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
Cloxacillin sodium is incompletely absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract following oral administration, and absorption is further reduced
by the presence of food. Peak plasma
concentrations of 7-1 4 mcg/mL have been observed 1-2 hours after a
dose of 500 mg. Doubling the dose can double the plasma concentration.
Cloxacillin is widely distributed to most tissues and body fluids,
including peritoneal fluid, blister fluid, urine, pleural fluid,
middle ear fluid, intestinal mucosa, bone, gallbladder, lung,
female reproductive tissues and bile.
Distribution into the cerebrospinal fluid is low in
subjects with non- inflamed
meninges. Therapeutic concentrations
can be achieved
in
pleural
and synovial
fluids and
in bone.
Cloxacillin crosses the placenta and is excreted in breast milk. About
94% of cloxacillin is bound to p lasma proteins. It has a half-life of
0.5-1 hour, and is prolonged in neonates.
Thirty percent of
