Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Hi all, Anyone out there know what Cefazolin is? My husband just had his GB surgery and is in the hospital and wanted me to post this question to ask you all. Also his white blood count is still too high so he has to stay in the hospital. This is only day number 4. They have him on antibiotics to get the blood count down.......What's the average stay in the hospital for this procedure? Thanks if anyone is out there that knows...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Cefazolin is a cepholosporin antibiotic. This particular one is available in liquid form. My immunologist gave me a case of the powder and instructed me how to mix it with water the next time I require a strong antibiotic. I hope that this helps some Take care Hugs, in GA open RNY 12/12/00 revision 04/18/01 revision 02/07/02 sw392 cw 205 -187 5'6 l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 Hey Charlotte - I do not know anything about that drug, but it sounds like an antibiotic. The average stay is 4 - 5 days. I will pray that he heals quickly and fights the infection. Take care. Jeanne in WI Age 38 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 298 /150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@...
