Extra antibiotic before hysterectomy to prevent infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving extra antibiotic (azithromycin) before hysterectomy can lower the chance of infections after surgery. You might benefit by helping prevent post-surgery infection, but it also depends on your allergy history and heart rhythm risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a hysterectomy for a non-cancer (benign) reason at one of the study hospitals in Finland.
- You do not have an allergy to azithromycin or cefuroxime (another antibiotic).
- You can understand the study instructions and follow the study plan.
- Your heart rhythm result (ECG, including “QT interval” measurements) must not be abnormally prolonged.
- You are not taking certain medicines that can affect heart rhythm (listed anti-arrhythmia medicines and some QT-prolonging drugs, and SSRIs if QT is prolonged).
