  • Title: [Clinical evaluation of a new oral cephem, cefprozil in children].
    Author: Meguro H, Tajima T, Shiraishi H, Abe T.
    Journal: Jpn J Antibiot; 1992 Nov; 45(11):1505-13. PubMed ID: 1494233.
    Abstract:
    Cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100) was evaluated for its efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics in children. CFPZ was effective against streptococcal pharyngitis, pneumococcal lower respiratory tract infections, staphylococcal skin infections and Escherichia coli urinary tract infections, but was less effective against lower respiratory tract infections and otitis media due to Haemophilus influenzae. No adverse reactions were encountered in 46 cases treated with CFPZ. With a premeal administration of 7.5 mg/kg, the Cmax was approximately 3.2 micrograms/ml and the T 1/2 beta was 1.4 hours. From the present study, CFPZ appears to be safe and effective against community-acquired childhood infections.
