Cefetamet

A third-generation cephalosporin taken by mouth as a prodrug (cefetamet pivoxil), studied from the late 1980s against respiratory and urinary infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. This family brings together other impurities.

Did you know?On its own cefetamet is poorly absorbed from the gut: it is linked to a 'pivoxil' ester that gets it through, then intestinal esterases cleave it off and release the active antibiotic.
