Abstract
(1) Ampicillin-cloxacillin for intravenous injection (Rectocillin ‘Kyowa’) was administered to 9 patients 1g or 2g daily for protection of postoperative infections, and good result was obtained in all cases. Eight out of 9 cases were with renal insufficiency. No side effect was encountered.
(2) Rectocillin was administered to 14 patients with infections. The treatment was remarkably effective in 4 cases, and effective in 6 cases. In the cases with renal insufficiency, a daily dose of 1g was effective. The dose administered to the patients with normal renal function was 2g or 4g daily. Neither clinical nor laboratory findings showed evidence of side effect.
