FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(Z)-methoxyimino acetamido]-3-[(1-methyl-1-pyrrolidino)methyl]-cef-3-em-4-carboxylate dihydrochloride monohydrate (cefepime dihydrochloride monohydrate) of formula (I) The method is realised by crystallising 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2(z)-methoxyimino acetamido]-3-[(1-methyl-1-pyrrolidino)methyl]-cef-3-em-4-carboxylate dihydrochloride monohydrate from aqueous or aqueous-organic solutions thereof by adding sodium chloride to the solution in an amount which provides sodium chloride concentration in the formed solution ranging from 10.0 to 15.0%. The precipitated cefepime dihydrochloride is then filtered, washed and dried.
EFFECT: improved method of producing cefepime dihydrochloride monohydrate.
