Cefroxadine dry syrup was studied clinically and the following results were obtained.
The drug was administered to 19 cases of bacterial infections: acute tonsillitis (6), acute bronchitis (6), scarlet fever (2), acute pyelonephritis (4) and acute cystitis (1).
The daily dose was about 30-50mg/kg except for 1 patient.The drug was given orally, 3 times a day and the duration of administration was from 4 to 11 days.
The overall efficacy rate was 100%, i.e., excellent in 17 cases, good in 2 cases.
