title: The treatment of infections in general practice with magnapen: a multicentre trial.
abstract: This study was carried out in general practice. Six hundred and forty-seven infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract and the skin and soft tissues in 646 patients were treated with oral Magnapen (250 mg ampicillin + 250 mg flucloxacillin) four times each day. An overall success rate of 94% was achieved. The main side-effect was diarrhoea causing 2.5% of patients to discontinue therapy. These results demonstrate the outstanding value of Magnapen in treating a wide variety of infections in general practice.
