Sign in to saveAlso known as Multocillin, Mezlocilina, (2S,5R,6R)-3,3-Dimethyl-6-{[(2R)-2-({[3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl]carbonyl}amino)-2-phenylacetyl]amino}-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid, Mezlocilline, Mezlocillinum, Mezlin, 6beta-{(2R)-2-[3-(methanesulfonyl)-2-oxoimidazolidine-1-carboxamido]-2-phenylacetamido}penicillanic acid
Mezlocillin is a broad-spectrum penicillin antibiotic. It is active against both Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Unlike most other extended spectrum penicillins, it is excreted by the liver, therefore it is useful for biliary tract infections, such as ascending cholangitis.
