Cefepime Warnings
The following safety information highlights important risks and precautions associated with the use of cefepime (Maxipime). Please read thoroughly and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
Allergic Reactions: Be aware of potential allergic reactions to cefepime, which can be severe and include facial swelling, shock, and anaphylaxis. If you have a known allergy to penicillins or other cephalosporin antibiotics, inform your healthcare provider. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience hives, rash, swelling of the lips or tongue, or breathing difficulties after using this medication.
Nervous System Side Effects: Although uncommon, some individuals have experienced serious nervous system effects such as hallucinations, seizures, involuntary movements, speech difficulties, and confusion while on cefepime. These effects are more likely in individuals with kidney problems who do not have their dosage adjusted appropriately. If any of these symptoms occur, contact emergency services or a healthcare professional immediately. Typically, these effects resolve after discontinuing the medication.
Diarrhea from Clostridioides difficile Infection: Cefepime can increase the risk of a C. difficile infection, a serious condition that can lead to life-threatening diarrhea. Unlike regular antibiotic-associated diarrhea, C. diff infection can cause a rapid heart rate, foul-smelling diarrhea, fever, nausea, frequent and bloody stools. If these symptoms arise, seek medical assistance promptly for testing and treatment.
Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria: Ensure you follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on the duration and purpose of cefepime treatment. Misuse, such as using the drug for unapproved conditions or incorrect durations, can lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria, potentially resulting in severe and hard-to-treat infections.
Contraindications: Do not use cefepime if you have a known allergy to penicillins or cephalosporin antibiotics, as this poses serious health risks. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting this medication if you are affected by these conditions.

What is cefepime prescribed for?
Cefepime is prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It is commonly used to treat pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and intra-abdominal infections. It is also effective against certain types of bacteria that are resistant to other antibiotics.
Is cefepime IV only?
Cefepime is primarily administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM). It is not available in oral form.
What to avoid when taking cefepime?
When taking cefepime, it is important to avoid alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or drowsiness. Additionally, patients should avoid using any other medications that may interact with cefepime without consulting their healthcare provider. This includes certain diuretics and other antibiotics. It is also advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if experiencing any side effects that impair alertness. Always follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding diet and medication interactions.
Is there an oral equivalent of cefepime?
Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is only available in an intravenous or intramuscular form. There is no direct oral equivalent of cefepime. However, depending on the infection being treated, a healthcare provider might consider other oral antibiotics that cover similar bacteria, such as certain third-generation cephalosporins or other classes of antibiotics, but this decision should be based on the specific clinical scenario and susceptibility patterns.
What are the most common side effects of cefepime?
The most common side effects of cefepime include rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Some patients may also experience fever, itching, or an allergic reaction. It is important to monitor for any severe or unusual symptoms and report them to a healthcare provider.
