Cefazolin has broad-spectrum antibiotic action due to inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis. It attains high serum levels and is excreted quickly via the urine. In vitro tests demonstrate that the bactericidal action of cephalosporins results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis.
The results obtained point to significant variations in the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug when administered in the DDS. The time of cefazolin at levels greater than 1 microgram ml-1 was 16.03 +/- 2.51 and 47.76 +/- 14.18 h-1 after administration of the standard formulation and the DDS, respectively.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
