[Considerations about new cephalosporins]

L A Varese, F Grazioli, A Viretto

    La Pediatria Medica E Chirurgica : Medical and Surgical Pediatrics
    |May 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Newer cephalosporins offer limited advantages over older ones, despite being effective and safe antibiotics. Judicious use is crucial, reserving them for specific resistant infections to avoid overuse and manage costs.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Antimicrobial Therapy

    Context:

    • Review of recent international data on newer cephalosporins.
    • Assessment of their role in contemporary antimicrobial strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the spectrum of activity, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, and therapeutic applications of newer cephalosporins.
    • To compare their advantages against previous generations and define precise indications.

    Summary:

    • Newer cephalosporins exhibit useful, effective, and safe properties but are frequently overused.
    • Their advantages over older cephalosporins are often marginal, not justifying a change in therapeutic opinion.
    • Reserve newer agents for specific situations, such as resistance to established drugs or when their safety profile is superior.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the need for defined indications to prevent overuse of cephalosporins.
    • Emphasizes that newer cephalosporins, while effective, can increase treatment costs.
    • Suggests reserving these advanced antibiotics for complex or resistant infections.
