Cefotiam inhibits final cross-linking stage of peptidoglycan production, thus inhibiting
bacterial cell wall synthesis. It has similar or less activity against Gram-positive staphylococci and streptococci, but is resistant to some beta-lactamases produced by Gram-negative bacteria. It is more active against many of the Enterobacteriaceae including Enterobacter,E. coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella and indole-positive Proteus species.
For adults, the dose is up to 6 grams daily by intravenous or intramuscular route in divided doses according to severity of infection. In patients with renal impairment a dose reduction may be needed.
