In order to compare the efficacy and side effect of cefroxadine with those of cephalexin on acute respiratory tract infection, cefroxadine at a daily dose of 750 mg (t. I. d.) and cephalexin at a daily dose of l,000mg (q.i. d.) were administered orally for 7 days in the treatment of acute pharyngitis, acute tonsillitis, and acute bronchitis, and a comparative double blind study on therapeutic effectiveness; side effect, and usefulness of both drugs was performed at 30 institutions. Total administered cases were 329 (163 cases on cefroxadine, 166 cases on cephalexin). Out of 329 cases, cases adopted by the committee members for assessment of effectiveness were 275 (134 cases on cefroxadine; 141 cases on cephalexin), and cases for evaluation of side effects numbered to 314 (154 cases on cefroxadine, 160 cases on cephalexin), and cases for assessment of effectiveness as well as of usefulness by physicians in charge totalled to 303 (147 cases on cefroxadine, 156 cases on cephalexin). The results obtained were as follows : 1. As to the therapeutic effect of cefroxadine (750 mg daily) and cephalexin (1,000 mg daily) in the treatment of acute respiratory tract infection, 63.5% in the cefroxadine group and 68.8% in the cephalexin group were rated as effective according to the assessment by the committee members and 68.0% in the cefroxadine group and 71.8% in the cephalexin group were rated effective according to the assessment by physicians in charge. No significant difference in any of them was noted between both groups. 2. Regarding the incidence of side effects, the number of the cases including the ones in which laboratory tests showed abnormal values was 22 cases (14.3%) in the cefroxadine group and 27 cases (16.9%) in the cephalexin group. There was no significant difference between both groups. 3 In respect to the usefulness of the drugs, in 90.5% of the cefroxadine group and 86.5% of the cephalexin group, each drug was regarded as “slightly useful” or more. No significant difference was noted between both groups.
