Mezlocillin is an organic chemical compound from the group of β-lactam antibiotics , more precisely the ureidopenicillins (acylaminopenicillins). It was patented by Bayer AG in 1974 . The broad spectrum antibiotic is used in the form of the sodium salt - monohydrate . Its wide spectrum of activity enables it to be effective against both Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. The drug is suitable, for example, for the treatment of an infection of the biliary tract.
use
Mezlocillin is mainly used for different infections at different locations and with different degrees of intensity. These can be, for example, infections of the deeper respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, the biliary tract or the kidney and its urinary tract. In addition, the agent can be used for infections of the genital organs or for obstetrics. Mezlocillin is not absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and can therefore only be given as an injection or infusion.
Side effects
Mezlocillin intake can affect the body in many different forms. As with all penicillins , there is the possibility, among other things, that the substance affects the nervous system, the psyche, the immune system, the respiratory tract and the taste. Mezlocillin can also cause platelet dysfunction , joint pain or temporary changes in laboratory values such as bilirubin and creatinine .
Interactions
Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs may interact with mezlocillin. If muscle relaxants are taken in conjunction with mezlocillin, this can lead to an increase in the neuromuscular blocks.
