It is necessary to abandon such a vicious scheme, when the patient is recommended to have injections of gentamicin or (!) lincomycin (antibiotics of different groups with significantly different antibacterial spectrum of action) only because they do not need to be done every 4 hours. Experience of advanced clinics of the world shows that gentamicin is used in the treatment of pneumonias not more often than 6% of cases, that tablet antibiotics are no less effective, that not all vitamin preparations can be prescribed during antibiotic therapy.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
