> **Important:** This medication is an injectable antibiotic reserved for serious infections and is administered exclusively by veterinary professionals. * **Hospitalization Required:** Because cefepime requires frequent intravenous dosing (every 6 to 8 hours) to remain effective, it is best administered to inpatients in a hospital setting. * **Side Effects:** The most common side effect is mild gastrointestinal upset, such as loose stools or diarrhea. If your pet develops severe or bloody diarrhea, notify your veterinarian immediately. * **Nursing Pets:** It passes into maternal milk in very low concentrations. While generally considered safe, it may alter the gut flora of nursing offspring, potentially causing diarrhea.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。
