Abstract
BACKGROUND, OUTCOME AND METHODS: Observational study of the clinical efficacy and tolerance of the cefpodoxime proxetil preparation, Podomexef. The study was conducted from August 1996 to April 1997. A total of 549 practitioners participated, 2,734 patients were recruited, and the data of 2714 patients were analyzed.
Dosage: Podomexef 200 film tablets, 2x daily.
Indication: Bacterial infections of the upper and lower airways and ENT infections.
Results: Global clinical efficacy was assessed by the physicians to be "very good" and "good" in 96.4% of the cases. With regard to tolerance, the physicians' assessment was "very good" and "good" in 96.3%. In 51 patients (1.9%), 70 adverse drug reactions involving the gastrointestinal tract, CNS and skin occurred.
Conclusion: Under day-to-day doctor's office conditions, Podomexef 200 film tablets are both effective and well tolerated in the treatment of bacterial infections of the airways and ENT infections.
