We studied clinical effects and safety of ceftibuten (7432-S, CETB), a new oral cephem antibiotic, against chronic complicated urinary tract infections in 9 cases and bacterial prostatitis in 10 cases. CETB was administered at a daily dose of 400-600 mg divided into twice or 3 times for a duration of 1-4 weeks. The overall clinical effect was 83.3% according to the criteria of UTI Committees (excellent: 4 cases, moderate: 1, poor: 1) in evaluated 6 cases, and the efficacy rate was 77.8% in the bacterial prostatitis cases according to physicians' evaluation (good: 7 cases, fair: 2, unknown: 1). There was 1 case of nausea, vomiting and lightly diarrhea on the third day after treatment but those tendencies all disappeared after stopping administration. So, we concluded that CETB was a useful agent for chronic complicated UTI and bacterial prostatitis with a daily dose level of 400-600 mg except in severe cases.

Ceftibuten suspension was administered to 1312 pediatric patients in clinical trials at a dosage of 9 mg/kg once daily, with a maximal daily dose of 400 mg. Adverse experiences were collected by voluntary reports by physicians from direct observations, parental and/or patient complaints in 1152 patients. In 160 patients gastrointestinal adverse experiences were elicited at each visit in addition to voluntary reports. Patients had a mean age of 4.9 years, the male: female ratio was 1:1 and 72% were white. Fifty-five percent (719 of 1312) of patients were treated in otitis media studies, 33% (438 of 1312) were treated in a pharyngitis study and 12% (155 of 1312) were treated in other studies. Adverse experiences occurred in 10% (138 of 1312) of all patients receiving ceftibuten suspension. The most common voluntarily reported treatment-related adverse events were diarrhea 3% (34 of 1152) and vomiting 2% (22 of 1152). For elicited adverse events related to treatment, the most common were also diarrhea 9% (14 of 160) and vomiting 3% (5 of 160). There were no deaths and only 0.9% (12 of 1312) patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events. Abnormal laboratory values related to therapy were uncommon and no patient discontinued treatment because of abnormal laboratory values. No cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, serum sickness-like reactions or pseudomembranous colitis have been observed with ceftibuten suspension in research studies to date.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
