Overview

Primary prevention

  • Prevention of ascites in cirrhosis, heart failure and renal failure.
  • Prevention of peritonitis in cases of ascites.
  • Intravenous ceftriaxone for 7 days or twice-daily norfloxacin for 7 days should be given to prevent bacterial infections in patients with cirrhosis and gastrointestinal hemorrhage.[1]
  • Intermittent dosing of antibiotics to prevent bacterial infections may be inferior to daily dosing (due to the development of bacterial resistance) and thus daily dosing should preferentially be used.
