  • Title: Pivmecillinam plus pivampicillin versus co-trimoxazole in patients undergoing transurethral prostate resection.
    Author: Holmquist B, Lundgren R.
    Journal: Pharmatherapeutica; 1984; 3(10):686-91. PubMed ID: 6087368.
    Abstract:
    Patients undergoing transurethral prostate resection received a 10-day or a 20-day treatment with a combination of pivmecillinam/pivampicillin or with co-trimoxazole starting 1 day before surgery. The results were evaluated in 139 patients. Fifty-three patients had bacteriuria prior to the operation, and the bacteriological cure rate was 22 out of 25 on pivmecillinam/pivampicillin and 22 out of 28 on co-trimoxazole. Eighty-six patients had no bacteriuria pre-operatively and received treatment prophylactically. Two out of 40 patients on co-trimoxazole developed urosepsis, while pivmecillinam/pivampicillin was effective in preventing septicaemic episodes in all 46 patients treated. Tolerance was good with mild side-effects in 5 patients on pivmecillinam/pivampicillin and in 2 patients on co-trimoxazole.
