Cefapirin is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, primarily used for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria. It was once used in human medicine but is now largely withdrawn or replaced by newer cephalosporins; it remains in use in veterinary medicine, especially for bovine mastitis.
Pharmacokinetic parameters are reported for healthy adult humans after single intravenous injection.
