Biliary tract surgical infections

In clinical experience the drug has shown the properties expected from earlier experimental work. It has been studied in biliary disease [412, 413] in general surgical work [414] and in a variety of pulmonary infections [415-8]. The results have justified early optimism in particular the very high concentrations achieved in bile make the drug eminently suitable for infections of the biliary tract. 

It is a semisynthetic potent cephalosporin for parenteral administration. It can be administered less frequently because of its long half life. It is used in infections of genitourinary tract, bone, joint and soft tissue infections, septicaemia, endocarditis, gonorrhoea, postoperative chest infections, biliary tract infection and surgical prophylaxis.
