Ceftiflex® Re-Hydration Procedure

Dr. Lucas Hinojosa, DVM demostrating the re-hydration procedure for mixing Ceftiflex® Powder utilizing the venting technique.

Ceftiflex® (ceftiofur sodium sterile powder) contains the sodium salt of ceftiofur which is a broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including β-lactamase-producing strains. Like other cephalosporins, ceftiofur is bactericidal in vitro, resulting from inhibition of cell wall synthesis.

Each mL of the reconstituted drug contains ceftiofur sodium equivalent to 50 mg ceftiofur. The pH was adjusted with sodium hydroxide and monobasic potassium phosphate.

Reconstitution of the sterile powder: Ceftiflex® (ceftiofur sodium sterile powder) should be reconstituted as follows:

1 gram vial- Reconstitute with 20 mL Sterile Water for Injection.

4 gram vial- Reconstitute with 80 mL Sterile Water for Injection.

Each mL of the resulting solution contains ceftiofur sodium equivalent to 50 mg ceftiofur.
