Effect of preventive treatment of cefuroxim (zinacef) made in India and England in gynecological surgery

ABSTRACT

A randomized control clinical trial was carried out in National Obstetric and Gynecological Hospital in order to assess preventive effect of cefuroxime (Zinacef, made by Glaxo Smithline in India and England) from May to July, 2005. Results show that there was no difference about preventive effect between Indian cefuroxime and English cefuroxime. However, there was a big difference about cost between the two cefuroxime. English Zinacef had a double cost compared to Indian Zinacef. Indian Zinacef 750 mg had a good preventive effect with shorten course therapy, less hospitalization day and suitable cost
