Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Bactericidal; inhibits cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation and autolysin activation.
Cephalothin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation and autolysin activity, leading to cell lysis and death.
1-2 g IV/IM every 6 hours for moderate to severe infections; maximum 12 g/day.
1 to 2 g IV or IM every 4 to 6 hours. Maximum 12 g/day.

30-60 minutes in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 10-20 hours in end-stage renal disease. Requires dose adjustment for CrCl <30 mL/min.
0.5-1 hour in normal renal function; prolonged to 20-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min)
Renal: 90-95% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. Biliary: <1%. Fecal: minimal.
Renal: 60-80% unchanged; biliary/fecal: minimal (<1%)
