Clinical studies on flomoxef in pregnant women with infections during the perinatal period]

Clinical efficacies of flomoxef (FMOX), which is a newly developed oxacephem antibiotic, were evaluated in 14 cases of obstetric and gynecologic infections during the perinatal period. The results were excellent in 6 cases (42.9%) and good in 8 cases (57.1%). No side effects nor abnormal clinical laboratory test results were observed in mothers or neonates. Thus, FMOX appears to be a useful antibiotic for perinatal infections.
