4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
PROPERTIES: Claforan is a broad-spectrum bactericidal cephalosporin
antibiotic. Claforan is exceptionally active _in vitro_ against
Gram-negative organisms sensitive or resistant to first or second
generation cephalosporins. It is similar to other
cephalosporins in activity against Gram-positive organisms.
INDICATION: Claforan 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:
Septicaemias
Respiratory Tract Infections such as acute and chronic bronchitis,
bacterial pneumonia, infected bronchiectasis, lung abscess
and post-operative chest infections.
Urinary Tract Infections such as acute and chronic pyelonephritis,
cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Soft Tissue Infections such as cellulitis, peritonitis and wound
infections.
Bone and Joint Infections such as osteomyelitis, septic arthritis.
Obstetric and Gynaecological Infections such as pelvic inflammatory
disease.
Gonorrhoea particularly when penicillin has failed or is unsuitable.
Other Bacterial Infections, meningitis and other sensitive infections
suitable for parenteral antibiotic therapy.
PROPHYLAXIS:
The administration of Claforan 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.
