First-generation cephalosporin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking.

1.5-2 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolongs significantly in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in anuria).
1-2 hours (normal renal function); prolonged to 10-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min)
Primarily renal (80-90% unchanged by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); small amounts biliary (<1%) and fecal.
