Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), particularly PBP 3. It demonstrates broad-spectrum activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Ceftriaxone is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis and death.
1-2 g intravenously every 8-12 hours for moderate to severe infections; up to 2 g every 8 hours for severe infections or febrile neutropenia.
Adult: 1-2 g IV or IM every 24 hours. Maximum 4 g/day for severe infections.

2.0–2.3 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 13–26 hours in end-stage renal disease.
Terminal half-life 6-9 hours in healthy adults; prolonged to 12-15 hours in elderly and up to 30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min).
Renal: approximately 85% of the dose excreted unchanged in urine; biliary/fecal: less than 1%.
Renal (33-67% unchanged), biliary (40-50% as active drug and metabolites), fecal (minor).
