Being a combination antibacterialdrug, "Biseptol" has a wide range of bactericidal action. As a review of this medicine, I could offer my own. Once I even called him a panacea for all my troubles. Of course, this is not entirely true, but after surgery for osteomyelitis of the spine, the doctors recommended that I take Biseptol (tablets) at the slightest hint of a cold or infection. I must admit that for more than 15 years there have been no repeated operations. Perhaps this drug has played a role.
This is not surprising, since in many infectious and inflammatory pathologies, the drug Biseptol 480 is prescribed. The instruction recommends its use in the following diseases:
- Bronchitis, pneumonia, purulent pleurisy and other infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, including lung abscess.
- Prostatitis, urethritis, pyelonephritis - infections of the urogenital system.
- Sexually transmitted diseases.
- Infectious diseases of the digestive tract.
- Infectious diseases of the skin, soft tissue infections: pyoderma, furunculosis and others.
- Otitis, sinusitis.
Also, the drug "Biseptol 480" is effective intreatment of other infections, inflammatory processes caused by microorganisms sensitive to the action of this drug. It is used in the treatment of cholera, acute and chronic osteomyelitis. As already mentioned, the drug is combined, that is, consisting of several components. These are sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. The drug is used "Biseptol 480" tablets as follows:
- For children from two to five years, the dose of the drug is 480 mg per day - two (120 mg) tablets in the morning and evening.
- For children under the age of 12 years, "Biseptol 480" is prescribed at the rate of 960 mg per day. This is twice a day, four (120 mg) tablets, or one each - 480 mg.
- In pneumonia, the content of sulfamethoxazole is taken into account. Per 1 kg of patient weight per day 100 mg of the substance is allowed, and the reception is divided into three times.
- The daily dose for children over 12 years old and adults is 1 g 920 mg (960 mg twice a day). If long-term therapy is needed, 480 mg twice a day.
The medicine should be taken after meals.It is necessary to wash down tablets with water in small quantities. Between receptions should be equal intervals of time. Usually this period is 12 hours. This means that if the morning dose of the medicine is taken at 8-00, then the evening one will be taken at 20-00. Accordingly, if the drug "Biseptol 480" is prescribed for three times use, then the interval between doses is 6 hours. Then it will turn out, for example: 8 o'clock in the morning - the first reception, 2 o'clock in the afternoon - the second reception and 8 o'clock in the evening - the third.
The effectiveness of drug treatment is largelydepends on the regularity and timeliness of its use. The course of therapy lasts up to two weeks. Dosage and treatment are prescribed individually. If the course exceeds five days, hematological monitoring is carried out. With changes in the blood picture, folic acid is prescribed.
My good review about the drug "Biseptol 480"does not mean at all that all readers should also treat any inflammatory processes with this medicine. I was prescribed by the attending physician, who knew exactly what microorganisms sepsis was caused, and then osteomyelitis of the spine.
