Overview

Cefalotin (INN) (Template:PronEng) or cephalothin (USAN) (Template:IPA) is a first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It was the first cephalosporin marketed and continues to be widely used. It is an intravenously-administered agent with a similar antimicrobial spectrum to cefazolin and the oral agent cefalexin. Cefalotin sodium is commonly marketed under the trade name Keflin (Lilly).
