Cefmenoxime hydrochloride（Cat No.:I004805） is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It belongs to the class of beta-lactam antibiotics and is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. Cefmenoxime works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, leading to cell death. As a third-generation cephalosporin, it has an extended spectrum of activity and increased resistance to beta-lactamases. Cefmenoxime hydrochloride is commonly used in the treatment of various infections, including respiratory, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissue infections, among others.

Compatibility and stability of ranitidine hydrochloride with six cephalosporins during simulated y-site administration.Inagaki K,Kambara M,Mizuno M,Okuda J,Gill MA,Nishida M, PMID: 23989642 Abstract: The purpose of this project was to determine the visual compatibility and stability of ranitidine hydrochloride in admixtures during simulated Y-site administration with six individual cephalosporins: ceftizoxime sodium, cefuzonam sodium, cefoperazone sodium, cefmenoxime hydrochloride, moxalactam disodium and flomoxef sodium. Dilutions of ranitidine hydrochloride 1 mg (as the free base)/mL were prepared in 0.9% sodium chloride injection. Two milliliters of the ranitidine solution (1mg/mL) was mixed with 2mL of each cephalosporin (20 mg/ml) in 10 mL glass test tubes. Concentrations of each drug were determined by stability-indicationg high-performance liquid chromatographic assay methods following zero, one, two, and four hours after mixing. All six cephalosporins retained greater than 95% of their original concentrations for four hours in the admixture with ranitidine. Ranitidine retained greater than 95% of its original concentration for four hours in the admixture with four of the tested cephalosporins and apporximately 90% with moxalactam and flomoxef. Solutions containing ranitidine may be coadministered with solutions either ceftizoxime, cefuzonam, cefoperazone or cefmenoxime via Y-injection site over four hours. While the ranitidine concentration may be reduced to near 90% after four hours with moxalactam and flomoxef, the tested antibiotics were not affected in the presence of ranitidine over four hours.
