Clinical InformationReport Error

Clinical Overview

Cefoperazone Sodium is a third-generation parenteral cephalosporin bactericidal antibiotic with notable anti-pseudomonal activity. Unlike most cephalosporins, it is predominantly excreted via the bile, making it exceptionally effective for biliary tract infections and useful in patients with renal impairment without routine dose adjustment. Indicated for biliary infections, peritonitis, respiratory tract infections, and sepsis.
