[Clinical studies on cephradine (CED) (author's transl)]

Cephradine (CED) was administered intravenously to the patients with respiratory infection or urinary tract infection with the dosage of 1.0 approximately 4.0 g daily and their clinical effects were investigated. Good clinical effects of CED were obtained in 5 of 8 cases with respiratory infections and in 2 of 5 cases with urinary tract infections. Side effects were noted in 2 cases, but they improved rapidly by the cessation of the drug administration. One case developed skin eruption and the other case complained general burning, palpitation after intravenous injection and slight insomnia. CED is seemed to be effective antibiotic for the respiratory as well as urinary tract infections clinically. However it was advisable that careful attention should be paid when CED is administered to the patient having drug allergy or nephropathy.
