Use

Cefepime (Maxipime, Axepin) is a parenteral, β-lactamase–resistant cephalosporin that is chemically and microbiologicallysimilar to cefpirome. It also has a broadantibacterial spectrum, with significant activity against bothGram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including streptococci,staphylococci, Pseudomonas spp., and theEnterobacteriaceae. It is active against some bacterial isolatesthat are resistant to ceftazidime. The efficacy of cefepimehas been demonstrated in the treatment of urinary tract infections,lower respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissueinfections, chronic osteomyelitis, and intra-abdominal andbiliary infections. It is excreted in the urine with a half-life of2.1 hours. It is bound minimally to plasma proteins. Cefepimeis also a fourth-generation cephalosporin.
