Abstract

An open prospective study has evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of cefixime in exacerbation of moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 32 men. The high (84%) efficacy of drug was demonstrated. During the six-month follow-up period, recurrences of COPD exacerbation were reported in 19 % of patients that indicates reliable anti-relapsing role of cefexime. There adverse effects of cefexime required its cancellation were not observed. It is concluded that along with aminopenicillins and protected β-lactamase inhibitors, cefixime, which has a high safety profile and easy to use, can be considered as a drug of choice for treatment of exacerbations of moderate COPD.
