Abstract

In children, one of the reasons of treatment failure is cessation of therapy before the planned time because of the taste, smell and appearance of the drug. Antibiotic therapy is one of the most difficult schedules that needs regular application. In this study, parents of children applying to our center were asked to compare 4 commonly used antibiotics, amoxicillin 125 mg/5 ml, amoxicilin clavulonate 600/42.9 mg, sefdinir 125 mg/5 ml and cefuroxime axetil 125 mg/5 ml according to taste, smell, appearance and colour. In this way it is aimed to ease the continuation of therapy. The doctor applying the survey is also kept blind throughout the study. Among the results, sefdinir is the mostly liked antibiotic due to taste (44.6%), while amoxicillin clavulonate is the second with a percentage of 33.8%, amoxicillin (10.8%) and cefuroxime axetyl (10.8%) are the least preferred ones.

Özet

Çocuklarda tedavi başarısızlığının önemli bir nedeni de ilaçların tadı, kokusu, görünümü nedeniyle planlanandan daha kısa sürede kesilmesidir. Özellikle antibiyotik tedavisi çocuklar için düzenli kullanımının en zor olduğu tedavilerin başında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, merkezimize başvuran hasta ebeveynlerinin antibiyotik çeşitleri bildirilmeden 4 yaygın kullanılan antibiyotik, ampisilin 125 mg/5 ml, amoksilin klavululonat 600/42.9 mg, sefdinir 125 mg/5 ml ve sefuroksim aksetil 125 mg/5 ml için tat, koku, görünüm ve renk açısından karşılaştırma yapması istenerek, hastalardaki tedavi devamlılığın kolaylaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Anketi uygulayan doktorun da kullanılan antibiyotiği bilmeden çalışmaya devam etmesine özen gösterilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar içinde sefdinir tat açısından en çok tercih edilen antibiyotik olurken (%44.6), 2. sırada amoksisilin klavulonat 600/42.9 mg (%33.8) yer almış, amoksisilin (%10.8) ve sefuroksim aksetil (%10.8) tat açısından en az tercih edilen antibiyotikler olmuştur.
