Drug overview for CEFEPIME HCL (cefepime hcl):

Generic name: CEFEPIME HCL (SEF-e-peem)
Drug class: Beta-Lactams
Therapeutic class: Anti-Infective Agents

Cefepime is a semisynthetic, fourth generation cephalosporin antibiotic.

Cefepime is used for the treatment of uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis), uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, and moderate to severe pneumonia caused by susceptible organisms. For the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections, cefepime is used in conjunction with IV metronidazole. In addition, cefepime is used alone or in conjunction with other anti-infectives for empiric anti-infective therapy in febrile neutropenic patients.
