Directions for Reconstitution: For intravenous use: Add 10 mL of Sterile Water for Injections to the 1 g vial. Shake to dissolve and then withdraw entire contents of the vial into a syringe.
For direct intravenous injection: Cefoxitin sodium may be slowly injected into the vein over a period of 3 to 5 minutes.
Alternatively, an intermittent intravenous infusion of cefoxitin sodium may be employed when large amounts of fluid are to be given. However, during infusion of the solution containing cefoxitin sodium, it may be advisable temporarily to discontinue administration of any other infusion solution at the same site (by using an appropriate IV infusion set).
Should be used immediately after reconstitution.
Discard remaining portion after use.
