NCIt definition : A daloxate ester prodrug form of faropenem, a penem with a tetrahydrofuran substituent
at position C2, with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many gram-positive
and gram-negative aerobes and anaerobes. Faropenem medoxomil is hydrolyzed in vivo
to release the active free acid. Compared with imipenem, faropenem has improved chemical
stability and reduced central nervous system effects. In addition, faropenem is resistant
to hydrolysis by many beta-lactamases.;
