  1. Intra-abdominal Infections: Cefoxitin is commonly used to treat intra-abdominal infections such as peritonitis, appendicitis, and diverticulitis caused by susceptible bacteria.

  2. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): It may be prescribed to treat PID, which is an infection of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

  3. Surgical Prophylaxis: Cefoxitin is often used prophylactically to prevent surgical site infections in abdominal and pelvic surgeries.

  4. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: It can be used to treat skin and soft tissue infections such as cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections caused by susceptible organisms.

  5. Gynecological Infections: Cefoxitin may also be effective in treating gynecological infections such as endometritis and postpartum infections.

  6. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): It is sometimes used to treat UTIs caused by susceptible bacteria.

  7. Respiratory Tract Infections: While less common, cefoxitin may be used to treat respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis caused by susceptible organisms.

  8. Bone and Joint Infections: Cefoxitin may be prescribed for bone and joint infections such as osteomyelitis and septic arthritis.

  9. Bacterial Septicemia: It can be used to treat septicemia or bloodstream infections caused by susceptible organisms.

  10. Dosage and Administration: The dosage and duration of treatment with cefoxitin depend on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient's age, weight, and renal function. It is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly.

  11. Adverse Effects: Common side effects of cefoxitin may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and allergic reactions such as rash or itching. As with other antibiotics, cefoxitin may also cause pseudomembranous colitis and anaphylaxis in rare cases.

  12. Drug Interactions: Cefoxitin may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect renal function or interfere with the absorption of antibiotics. It is important to review the patient's medication history and potential drug interactions before prescribing cefoxitin.

Impacted of cefoxitin On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by cefoxitin

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of cefoxitin on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
