PEDIAZOLE SUMMARY
Pediazole is a combination of erythromycin ethylsuccinate, USP, and sulfisoxazole acetyl, USP. When reconstituted with water as directed on the label, the granules form a white, strawberry-banana flavor suspension that provides the equivalent of 200 mg erythromycin activity and the equivalent of 600 mg of sulfisoxazole activity per teaspoonful (5 mL).
For treatment of ACUTE OTITIS MEDIA in children that is caused by susceptible strains of
Haemophilus influenzae.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Pediazole, USP, and other antibacterial drugs, Pediazole 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.
