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.
