title: [Amoxycillin/potassium clavulanate in inpatients with bronchopulmonary infections].
abstract: Step-by-step therapy of patients with pneumonia and exacerbated chronic bronchitis with amoxyclav (amoxycillin/potassium clavulanate) in a dose of 1.2 g administered intravenously dropwise every 8 hours for the first 2 days of the treatment with subsequent oral use of the drug in a dose of 625 mg thrice a day for 5 days proved to be highly efficient. The recovery and improvement were stated in 19 (95 per cent) out of 20 patients. The adverse reaction (urticaria) was observed in 1 patient. Identical results were recorded in a comparative randomized trial with the use of cefotaxime in a dose of 1.0 g intramuscularly every 8 hours for 7 days. The pharmacoeconomic estimate showed the expediency of the step-by-step therapy with the use of amoxycillin/potassium clavulanate.
