Thus bacteriological efficacy amounted to 87.5 per cent. Pharmacokinetic data demonstrates long-term sparfloxacin circulation in the organism of patients with burns--elimination half-life amounted to 20 hours. Overall after the sparfloxacin use the favourable clinical effect was stated in 100 per cent patients--18 patients (75%) had clinical cure and 6 (25%)--clinical improvement. The drug tolerance was good. It is concluded that clinical and laboratory investigation demonstrated high efficacy of sparfloxacin (Sparflo, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd) in the treatment of patients with skin and tissue wounds of different localization and genesis, complicated with infections.
