Cefepime Injection in Galaxy Container is a sterile, injectable product consisting of Cefepime Hydrochloride, USP, a semi-synthetic, broad spectrum, cephalosporin antibacterial for parenteral administration. The chemical name is 1-[[(6R,7R)-7-[2-(2-Amino-4-thiazolyl) glyoxylamido]-2-carboxy-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0] oct-2-en-3-yl]methyl]-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride, 7 2 -(Z)-(O-methyloxime), monohydrochloride, monohydrate, which corresponds to the following structural formula: Cefepime hydrochloride (monohydrate) has a molecular mass of 571.50 and a molecular formula of C 19 H 25 ClN 6 O 5 S 2 •HCl•H 2 O. Cefepime Injection in Galaxy Container is a frozen, iso-osmotic, sterile, non-pyrogenic premixed solution supplied for intravenous administration in strengths equivalent to 1 g and 2 g of cefepime [see Dosage and Administration (2) ]. It contains the equivalent of not less than 90 percent and not more than 115 percent of the labeled amount of cefepime (C 19 H 24 N 6 O 5 S 2 ). The solution is intended for intravenous use after thawing to room temperature. The components and dosage formulations are given in the table below: Table 5: Cefepime Injection in Galaxy Containers Premixed Frozen Solution Component Cefepime is present in the formulation as Cefepime Hydrochloride, USP. The amounts of Dextrose Hydrous, USP and L-Arginine, USP are approximate. Function Dosage Formulations 1 g in 50 mL 2 g in 100 mL Cefepime active ingredient 1 g 2 g Dextrose Hydrous, USP osmolality adjuster 1.03 g 2.06 g L-Arginine, USP The pH may have been adjusted with hydrochloric acid and/or additional L-Arginine, USP. The pH is 4.0 – 6.0. pH adjuster 725 mg 1.45 g Hydrochloric Acid pH adjuster As needed As needed Water for Injection, USP vehicle q.s. This is an abbreviation for sufficient quantity. 50 mL q.s. 100 mL Cefepime Injection will range in color from colorless to amber. The plastic container is fabricated from a specially designed multilayer plastic. Solutions are in contact with the polyethylene layer of this container and can leach out certain chemical components of the plastic in very small amounts within the expiration period. The suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to the USP biological tests for plastic containers, as well as by tissue culture toxicity studies. Structural Formula
