    Author: Tageldin MA, Said A.
    Journal: J Int Med Res; 1992; 20 Suppl 1():44A-52A. PubMed ID: 1451929.
    Abstract:
    Oral tablets containing 375 mg sultamicillin were used to treat 30 adult patients of either sex suffering from lower respiratory tract infections. The dose used was one tablet every 12 h for 22 cases and one tablet every 8 h for eight cases. The duration of therapy varied between 5 and 14 days (mean 8.6 days). The therapeutic response was rated as cure in 23 (76.6%) patients, with complete disappearance of pretreatment signs and symptoms, and as improvement in seven (23.3%) patients, with amelioration of the pretreatment manifestations. All 52 microorganisms isolated before treatment were eradicated. No adverse effects were reported in 25 (83.3%) patients, whereas the remaining five (16.7%) patients reported mild loose stools with normal bowel motion. There were no abnormal changes in blood count and liver and renal functions following sultamicillin treatment.
