Geocillin Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Carbenicillin Indanyl Sodium
Geocillin Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Carbenicillin Indanyl Sodium
INDICATIONS
Geocillin (carbenicillin indanyl sodium) is indicated in the treatment
of acute and chronic infections of the upper and lower urinary tract and
in asymptomatic bacteriuria due to susceptible strains of the following
organisms:
Escherichia coli
Proteus mirabilis
Morganella morganii (formerly Proteus morganii)
Providencia rettgeri (formerly Proteus rettgeri)
Proteus vulgaris
Pseudomonas
Enterobacter
Enterococci
Geocillin is also indicated in the treatment of prostatitis due to susceptible
strains of the following organisms:
Escherichia coli
Enterococcus (S. faecalis)
Proteus mirabilis
Enterobacter sp.
WHEN HIGH AND RAPID BLOOD AND URINE LEVELS OF ANTIBIOTIC ARE INDICATED,
THERAPY WITH GEOPEN (CARBENICILLIN DISODIUM) SHOULD BE INITIATED BY PARENTERAL
ADMINISTRATION FOLLOWED AT THE PHYSICIAN'S DISCRETION, BY ORAL THERAPY.
NOTE: Susceptibility testing should be performed prior to and
during the course of therapy to detect the possible emergence of resistant
organisms which may develop.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of Geocillin and
other antibacterial drugs, Geocillin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are
proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and
susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying
antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns
may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Geocillin is available as a coated tablet to be administered orally
