Is cefazolin time-dependent? Understanding its pharmacodynamic profile

4 min read
According to a study published in the *British Journal of Anaesthesia*, cefazolin is a time-dependent antibiotic, meaning its efficacy depends on the duration of exposure above a specific concentration. This critical pharmacological detail dictates how cefazolin should be administered to maximize bacterial killing and achieve successful treatment outcomes.

Understanding Which Antibiotics Are Time-Dependent and Why It Matters

These drugs rely on the duration of exposure rather than the peak level for their killing effect.
