Cefzil Overdose, Contraindications and Information - Cefprozil

OVERDOSE

Single 5000 mg/kg oral doses of cefprozil caused no mortality or signs of toxicity in adult, weaning or neonatal rats, or adult mice. A single oral dose of 3000 mg/kg caused diarrhea and loss of appetite in cynomolgus monkeys, but no mortality.

Cefprozil is eliminated primarily by the kidneys. In case of severe overdosage, especially in patients with compromised renal function hemodiarysis will aid in the removal of cefprozil from the body.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Cephprozil is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics.
