What Experts Say

Cefepime is a fourth generation cephalosporin, developed to cover a wider range of bacteria than earlier cephalosporins, including certain resistant gram negative organisms. It works by blocking bacterial cell wall formation, causing the bacteria to burst and die. Because it is given by injection, it reaches high levels in the bloodstream quickly.

Doctors reserve Cefepime for infections that are moderate to severe, or for patients who are not responding to oral antibiotics. It is commonly used in hospital settings for pneumonia, complicated urinary infections and infections in people with weakened immunity, such as those undergoing chemotherapy.

Because Cefepime is a stronger, broader spectrum antibiotic, it is generally reserved for situations where it is truly needed, to help limit the development of antibiotic resistance. It should always be administered by a trained healthcare professional who can monitor the response and watch for side effects.
