Cefazolin is an antibiotic from the cephalosporin group (a first-generation cephalosporin), which is related to penicillin. It kills bacteria by stopping them from building their outer wall. It comes as a powder that is mixed into a liquid and given as an injection or drip into a vein, or sometimes into a muscle. It is given by doctors and nurses, usually in hospital, and is used when an antibiotic by mouth is not suitable.
- Stopping infections before, during and after surgery, such as heart surgery or joint replacement (WHO lists it as a first-choice antibiotic for this)
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Bone and joint infections
- Other infections caused by bacteria that cefazolin can kill
- Sometimes, in people allergic to penicillin, to help prevent infection of the heart valves before some dental or throat procedures, or to protect a newborn baby when the mother is in labour
