Antibiotic linked to higher mortality
A scientific study has revealed that the use of the antibiotic «Cefepime» is associated with an increased risk of death among adults, with the probability of death being 94.4% higher compared to other antibiotics. The results showed that this correlation was more pronounced in adults suffering from fever accompanied by low white blood cell counts. The study also had some limitations, including differences in study designs, ages, and dosages used. Despite this, the researchers did not recommend discontinuing the use of the medication at this time, emphasizing the need for further research to better understand its safety.
