OVERDOSE
Single 5000 mg/kg oral doses of cefprozil caused no mortality
or signs of toxicity in adult, weaning 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.
Cefprozil is eliminated primarily by the kidneys. In case
of severe overdosage, especially in patients with compromised
renal function hemodiarysis will aid in the removal of cefprozil
from the body.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Cephprozil is contraindicated in patients with known
allergy to the cephalosporin class of antibiotics.
