Cefoxitin Sodium is a semisynthetic cephamycin C antibiotic characterized by its broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and anaerobic bacteria. Produced via enzymatic modification of cephalosporin precursors, it exhibits stability against many beta-lactamases. Its molecular formula is C16H17N2NaO7S with CAS number 30738-74-2.
Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephamycins or cephalosporins. Store powder at controlled room temperature below 25°C in a dry environment. Reconstituted solutions must be used immediately or refrigerated for short-term stability to prevent degradation.
