It has excellent antibacterial activity, particularly against staphylococci and streptococci, making it an important choice for preoperative prophylaxis and treatment of moderate infections. The compound is known for its fast-acting therapeutic effect and favorable safety profile.
Application
Cefazolin Sodium is extensively used in hospital settings for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. It is the active ingredient in sterile injectable formulations for perioperative prophylaxis and treatment of infections involving the skin, bone, urinary tract, and respiratory system. Its dependable spectrum of activity and stability in solution make it a mainstay in emergency and surgical medicine.
Packaging
The product is typically packed in pharmaceutical-grade containers such as double polyethylene bags inside fiber drums, or sterile glass vials for injectable manufacturing purposes. Standard packaging sizes range from 10 kg to 25 kg per drum, with customized packaging available upon request to meet individual manufacturing needs.
Usage Instructions
Cefazolin Sodium is intended for use in injectable antibiotic preparations and must be handled under sterile manufacturing conditions. It is typically reconstituted with sterile water for injection or other suitable solvents as per pharmacopeial guidelines. Dosage and administration depend on the infection type, severity, and patient condition, and should be determined by a licensed medical professional. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from moisture and light to preserve potency and stability.
