| Abstract |
The results of two studies on tolerability and efficacy of mezlocillin/oxacillin are reported. The pain caused by i.m. injection of 1 g (20% solution) of the fixed antibiotics combination mezlocillin/oxacillin is compared with that caused by 1 g ampicillin. The injection volume was 5 ml. The statistical analysis of the patients' statements indicates a better tolerance of the fixed antibiotics combination mezlocillin/oxacillin than of ampicillin. The second study was determined the clinical efficacy and tolerability of mezlocillin/oxacillin in the treatment of wound infections, biliary tract infections, urinary tract infections, appendicitis and peritonitis. 19/20 patients were clinically cured after about 7 days o treatment with i.m. injections of 1.5 g mezlocillin/oxacillin in 6 ml of a 25% aqueous solution t.i.d. Treatment had to be discontinued after 3 days in one case because of a generalized exanthema. No other side effects were reported. These studies show that both the i.m. injection o the 20% solution of 1 g mezlocillin/oxacillin combination and the 25% solution of 1.5 g of this combination are tolerated without problems.
