SKIN AND SKIN STRUCTURE
Uncomplicated Skin and Skin-Structure Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (including penicillinase-producing strains) and Streptococcus pyogenes. Abscesses usually require surgical drainage. To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of CEFZIL and other antibacterial drugs, CEFZIL 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 epidemi-ology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. Text Continues Below
