Cefprozil overdose
Introduction
Overdosage topics
Manifestations
Single 5000 mg/kg oral doses of Cefprozil caused no mortality or signs of toxicity in adult, weanling, or neonatal rats, or adult mice. A single oral dose of 3000 mg/kg caused diarrhea and loss of appetite in cynomolgus monkeys, but no mortality. Return to top
Treatment
Cefprozil is eliminated primarily by the kidneys. In case of severe overdosage, especially in patients with compromised renal function, hemodialysis will aid in the removal of Cefprozil from the body. Return to top
