Streptococcal pharyngitis
Streptococcal pharyngitis is a common disease that occurs mostly in winter and spring. It can be sporadic or epidemic and is contagious. Children are more susceptible to the disease, while those under 1 year old and over 50 years old rarely get sick. This disease not only causes acute inflammation in the pharynx, but also affects the entire body and other organs to varying degrees.

Cefprozil dry suspension
Indication: For mild and moderate infections caused by sensitive bacteria. Upper respiratory tract infection, purulent streptococcal pharyngitis/tonsillitis. Note: Intramuscular penicillin should be selected for the treatment and prevention of streptococcal infections (including the prevention of rheumatic fever). Although cefprozil is generally effective in clearing purulent streptococci in the nasopharynx, there is currently no data available for the use of cefprozil in the prevention of secondary rheumatic fever. Otitis media caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including β-lactamase-producing strains), and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains). Acute sinusitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including β-lactamase-producing strains), and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains). Lower respiratory tract infection, secondary bacterial infection of acute bronchitis and acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including β-lactamase-producing strains), and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains). Skin and skin tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including penicillinase-producing strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes are uncomplicated, but abscesses usually require surgical drainage.

Indication: For the following mild and moderate infections caused by sensitive bacteria: 1. Upper respiratory tract infection, Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis/tonsillitis. Note: Intramuscular penicillin should usually be used to treat and prevent streptococcal infections (including prevention of rheumatic fever). Although cefprozil can generally effectively eliminate Streptococcus pyogenes in the nasopharynx, there is currently no reference data on the use of cefprozil to prevent secondary rheumatic fever. Otitis media and acute sinusitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including β-lactamase-producing strains) and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains). 2. Lower respiratory tract infection, secondary bacterial infection of acute bronchitis and acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae (including β-lactamase-producing strains) and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains). 3. Uncomplicated skin and skin soft tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including penicillinase-producing strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes, but abscesses usually require surgical drainage. Bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing should be performed when appropriate to determine the sensitivity of the pathogen to cefprozil.

CEFDINIR- cefdinir_capsule
Indication: INDICATIONS AND USAGE
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of cefdinir and other antibacterial drugs, cefdinir should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
