What is Ancef
Cefazolin
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Cefazolin is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from forming cell walls. It quickly builds up in the bloodstream and is then passed out of the body in the urine. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections.

Effectiveness
How Ancef Affects Patients
Cefazolin (also known as cefazoline or cephazolin) is a type of drug that is injected directly into the body. It has a wide range of effectiveness against bacterial infections, and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and quickly passed out of the body in the urine.
How Ancef works in the body
Cephalosporins work to kill bacteria by stopping them from making cell walls. They do this by attaching to proteins in the bacterial cell wall, preventing the cell from correctly constructing a wall. As the wall fails to form, the bacteria become more vulnerable to enzymes that break apart the cell, leading to the bacteria's death.
When to interrupt dosage
The suggested measure of Ancef hinges on the diagnosed condition, such as prophylaxis of Postoperative Infections, Genital infection caused by vulnerable Bacterial Infections and Communicable Diseases. The sum of dosage is contingent upon the method of administration (e.g. Injection or Powder, for solution - Intravenous) specified in the table below.
