Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Cefuroxime sodium is a second-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking.
Docetaxel binds to beta-tubulin, promoting microtubule assembly and inhibiting depolymerization, resulting in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase and apoptosis.
750 mg to 1.5 g IV or IM every 8 hours; maximum 6 g per day.
75 mg/m² intravenously over 1 hour every 3 weeks.

Terminal elimination half-life: 1.2 hours (range 1-2 hours) in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 15-22 hours in end-stage renal disease (CrCl <10 mL/min); dosing adjustment required for CrCl <30 mL/min
Terminal elimination half-life is 4.5-6.0 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged to 12-24 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Renal (95% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); biliary/fecal (minimal, <5%)
Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug) with hepatic metabolism contributing to biliary/fecal elimination (20-30%).
