Comparative studies of cefprozil in the management of skin and soft-tissue infections
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis.
1994 Oct.
Abstract
Six multicenter clinical trials comparing cefprozil with cefaclor, amoxicillin-clavulanate or erythromycin in the management of skin and soft-tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria demonstrate that cefprozil, given once or twice daily, is an effective chemotherapeutic agent in this context. Its pharmacokinetic behavior is compatible with once-daily or twice-daily administration, with a probability of improved patient compliance. Safety and tolerability compare favorably with other agents used in skin and soft-tissue infections.
