Abstract

1. Cefroxadine dry syrup was in principle administered at the dosage of 10 mg per kilogram of body weight 3 times a day.
2. Evaluation was done in 4 grades, i.e. excellent, good, fair and poor.
3. According to subjective judgement by attending doctors, ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ was marked in 87.7% of total 163 cases. If impetigo cases (108) were picked out, ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ was recorded in 90.7%.
4. If the evaluation was partially standardized, ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ was obtained in 74.8% of total 163 cases and in 78.7% of 108 impetigo cases.
5. Side effects were observed in 3 cases (diarrhea 1, fever 2) No direct correlation of these complaints with the administration of the present drug was confirmed.
