Terapijske indikacije:

DBL™ Cefotaxime Sodium for Injection is indicated in the treatment of the following infections either before the infecting organism has been identified or when caused by bacteria of established sensitivity. Septicaemia. Respiratory tract infections: acute and chronic bronchitis, bacterial pneumonia, infected bronchiectasis, lung abscess and post-operative chest infections. Urinary tract infections: acute and chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria. Soft tissue infections: cellulitis, peritonitis and wound infections. Bone and joint infections: osteomyelitis, septic arthritis. Obstetric and gynaecological infections: pelvic inflammatory disease. Gonorrhoea: particularly if penicillin-resistant. Other bacterial infections: meningitis and other sensitive infections suitable for parenteral antibiotic therapy. The administration of DBL™ Cefotaxime Sodium for Injection prophylactically may reduce the incidence of certain post-operative infections in patients undergoing surgical procedures that are classified as contaminated or potentially contaminated or in clean operations where infections would have serious effects. Protection is best ensured by achieving adequate local tissue concentrations at the time contamination is likely to occur. DBL™ Cefotaxime Sodium for Injection should therefore be administered immediately prior to surgery and if necessary continued in the immediate post-operative period. Administration should usually be stopped within 24 hours since continuing use of any antibiotic in the majority of surgical procedures does not reduce the incidence of subsequent infections.
