[Clinical studies with cefroxadine dry syrup in the field of pediatrics (author's transl)]

The clinical and pharmacokinetic studies of cefroxadine (CXD) dry syrup were conducted, and the following results were obtained. 1. A single dose of CXD either 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg was given to 2 patients each, and serum levels were peaked in the range of about 10 to 11 microgram/ml. 2. About 30 mg/kg of CXD per day was administered to 47 infants and children (37; upper and lower respiratory tract infection, 3; urinary tract infection, 7; Others) aged from 6 months to 8 years and 1 month weighing 8 to 29 kg, and a 97.8% (44 out of 45) of clinical response was obtained except for 2 cases whose efficacies were uncertain. 3. As the drug-induced side effects, only transient loose stool was observed in 2 cases. This, however, allowed to continue the treatment.
