The drug 'Cefazolin'. How to breed?

Cefazolin is an antibacterial drug prescribed for infections of all kinds (respiratory tract, skin, urine and bile ducts, with burns), and even with septicemia, endocarditis, osteomyelitis and, of course, peritonitis. In the body, the drug is administered in two ways: intramuscularly or intravenously, for example, via a dropper. For injections, the drug should be diluted with a special solution of sodium chloride or sterile water. These liquids are injected through a syringe into a vial containing the Cefazolin drug. How to dilute the drug is indicated in the instructions. Usually, one bottle of medicine in the form of powder accounts for 2-3 ml of the solution. It is this ratio that must be observed for intramuscular injections. The needle should be inserted into the muscle deep enough.

And if the doctor has prescribed intravenous or jet injection of the drug "Cefazolin", how to breed it in this case? The instruction prescribes for a jet injection in a vein to take one bottle of powder 10 ml of a special solution. Enter the drug slowly for 5 minutes. The residence time under the cephazolin dropper is approximately half an hour, and for preparation of the solution, preparations are taken in a ratio of 0.5-1 g of the "Cefazolin" agent per 100-250 ml of physiological saline.

As can be seen from the above, the breeding of "Cefazolin" does not cause any special difficulties. In a day an adult can take a dose of this medication equal to 1-4 g, and in severe cases it can be increased to 6 g. For children, calculations are made in accordance with the weight. The daily norm for a child is calculated based on the ratio of 20 mg of the drug per kilogram of the weight of the child. The medication is administered with a break at 8 hours. However, in severe cases, the child can be administered up to 100 mg per kg of body weight per day. The plus is the ability to treat this antibiotic with both adults and children. As for the treatment of children with the drug "Cefazolin", together with injections of this remedy, it is necessary to give the child preparations for improving and restoring the intestinal microflora, as well as antihistamines to prevent allergic reactions.

Patients suffering from impaired renal function, the dose should be reduced. It should be taken into account that the drug "Cefazolin" is contraindicated in the presence of sensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics. It is not recommended to administer the product during pregnancy and when feeding the baby with breast milk. However, at the time of taking the drug, you can stop breastfeeding the baby, if it is necessary to apply the drug "Cefazolin" for treatment.

How to grow this medicine with Novokain? And why dilute it with an anesthetic? The fact that the drug "Novocaine" has a local anesthetic effect, and when it enters the body, it blocks painful impulses, and they do not enter the brain. Especially it is good for intramuscular injection of various antibiotics, which includes the drug "Cefazolin." How to breed will prompt, again, the instruction. For intramuscular injections , a 0.5% solution should be taken, taking 250 or 500 mg of the antibiotic "Cefazolin" and adding to it 2 ml of Novokain.

For those who have kidney problems, this method of diluting the drug should be used with extreme caution. The drug Novokain is contraindicated in patients under the age of 18 and elderly patients. Often, patients are allergic to this medication, this information should be checked before injection.

How to plant "Cefazolinum" novocaine, if after the combination of these two drugs, one of them does not want to dissolve to the end? In this case, you need to hold the ampoule with a solution in your hand to heat the glass and liquid inside it to the temperature of the human body (about five minutes), and then shake well. If, for some reason, the injection was not immediately done, then it is possible to place the diluted "Cefazolin" preparation in the refrigerator. So it can be stored the whole day.
