A

Rocephin
3rd generation cephalosporin

Coverage:
Gram (+): less for Staph than 1g/2g’s; poor against Enterococci & MRSA
Gram (-) Aerobes: excellent for most except Pseudomonas, Listeria; excellent for Neisseria sp., H. Flu (inc. ?-lactamase producers)
Anaerobes: poor activity

    QD dosing (1-2g) except in meningitis (2g Q12?)
    Drug of choice for gonorrhea (250 IM x 1)
    Cleared through kidneys & liver, so don't need to adjust dose in renal failure
