Oral Administration of Phenoxymethyl Penicillin (Distaquaine V)

Candida in the faeces of children receiving oral tetracycline and phenoxymethyl penicillin.

The faeces from 100 children under 14 years receiving no antibiotic or steroid therapy were examined for Candida spp. The proportion (8%) of positive isolates is compared with the number of Candida spp. isolated from the faces of 50 children receiving oral tetracycline (14%) and 59 children on phenoxymethyl penicillin (10%) for complaints other than gastrointestinal infections. The use of selec...

Streptococcal pharyngitis therapy: comparison of clindamycin palmitate and potassium phenoxymethyl penicillin.

Clindamycin palmitate and potassium phenoxymethyl penicillin were evaluated in 103 children with upper respiratory illnesses and pharyngeal group A streptococci, from November 1970 to July 1971. The children were assigned randomly by weight to one of the antibiotic regimens given orally for 10 days. Clindamycin palmitate and potassium phenoxymethyl penicillin dosages were 75 and 125 mg, respect...

Randomized, single-blind evaluation of cefadroxil and phenoxymethyl penicillin in the treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis.

A total of 150 children from two pediatric practices with clinical and bacteriologic evidence of acute group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis randomly received cefadroxil monohydrate (75 children) or phenoxymethyl penicillin (75 children). Cefadroxil was given once daily, while penicillin was given three times daily. The treatment groups were similar in age, sex, race, illness...
