title: A general practice evaluation of selexid suspension as a treatment for acute urinary tract infection.
abstract: Fifty-seven general practice patients (fifty-five females and two males) with acute uncomplicated cystitis received a 5-day course of pivmecillinam suspension at a dose of 200 mg (2 sachets) three times a day. Positive bacteriological cultures were obtained from twenty-eight patients (49%) before treatment. The bacteriological cure rate was 100%. All patients experienced some relief of symptoms and thirty-nine patients (68%) were completely symptom-free after treatment. Selexid suspension was generally well tolerated. Side-effects were reported in only four patients(6%) and no patient had to stop treatment prematurely.
