FORTAZ IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs PANIXINE DISPERDOSE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Ceftazidime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), specifically PBP3, thereby disrupting peptidoglycan cross-linking and leading to cell lysis. It is a third-generation cephalosporin with broad-spectrum activity against Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Panixine is a cephalosporin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis and death.
1-2 g IV/IM every 8-12 hours; maximum 6 g/day.
Cefpodoxime proxetil (Panixine Disperdose) is administered orally (PO) as a dispersible tablet. Typical adult dose: 200 mg PO every 12 hours for 10-14 days for community-acquired pneumonia; 100 mg PO every 12 hours for 5-7 days for acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis; 200 mg PO single dose for uncomplicated gonorrhea.

1.8 hours in normal adults; prolonged to 3-5 hours in neonates and 10-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <10 mL/min)
6-8 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 20-30 hours in severe impairment).
Primarily renal (80-90% unchanged) via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; minor biliary/fecal (<10%)
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for 70-80% of elimination; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for 10-15%.
