NALLPEN IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs PIPERACILLIN
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Nallpen is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), specifically active against beta-lactamase-producing Staphylococcus aureus.
Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), inhibiting transpeptidation, and activating autolytic enzymes.
Nafcillin 1-2 g IV every 4 hours for moderate to severe infections; for MSSA bacteremia or endocarditis, 2 g IV every 4 hours.
3.375 g IV every 6 hours (piperacillin-tazobactam); for piperacillin alone, 3 g IV every 6 hours.

0.9-1.2 hours; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 7-10 hours in anuria); requires dose adjustment for CrCl <30 mL/min
Clinical Note
moderatePiperacillin + Probenecid
"The serum concentration of Probenecid can be increased when it is combined with Piperacillin."
Clinical Note
moderatePiperacillin + Mycophenolic acid
"The serum concentration of the active metabolites of Mycophenolic acid can be reduced when Mycophenolic acid is used in combination with Piperacillin resulting in a loss in efficacy."
Clinical Note
moderatePiperacillin + Plicamycin
"The serum concentration of Plicamycin can be decreased when it is combined with Piperacillin."
Clinical Note
moderate0.6-1.2 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 2-6 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <20 mL/min); requires dose adjustment in renal failure
Primarily renal (60-80% unchanged drug via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion); biliary/fecal: minor (<5%)
Renal: approximately 70-90% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; biliary: 10-20% excreted unchanged in bile; fecal: minor (<5%)
