Brief Summary

This study aims to assess the safety \& efficacy of Oral Ciprodiazole® versus currently used Ciprofloxacin Tablets \& Metronidazole tablets in pelvi-abdominal infections and following IV antibiotics in post-operative period, for pelvi-abdominal surgeries or acute conditions

Detailed Description

Primary Objective

1. Primary Safety:

To compare safety of oral Ciprodiazole ® tablets (Ciprofloxacin/Metronidazole) versus currently used Ciprofloxacin Tablets \& Metronidazole tablets for pelvi-abdominal infections, either non-operative or post-operative following IV antibiotics.

2. Primary Efficacy:

To compare efficacy of oral Ciprodiazole ® tablets (Ciprofolxacin/Metronidazole) versus currently used Ciprofloxacin Tablets \& Metronidazole tablets for pelvi-abdominal infections, either non-operative or post-operative following IV antibiotics.

Secondary Objective

1. Secondary Safety:

* Presence of any signs/symptoms of post-operative wound infection such as redness, fever or wound discharge.

* Presence of undesirable effects on total leukocyte count and liver enzymes (SGOT\& SGPT)

2. Secondary Efficacy:

* To compare the complete resolution or improvement of Pelvi-abdominal infection between ciprodiazole® versus combined treatment, based on pelvi-abdominal ultrasound and others

* To compare the days for complete healing of post-operative wounds between ciprodiazole® versus combined treatment

STUDY DURATION:

* Subjects will be enrolled for 12 months including screening visit

* Follow up for 15 days from enrolment

STUDY POPULATION:

312 Egyptian Patients with pelvi-abdominal infection or started IV antibiotics in post-operative period, for pelvi - abdominal surgeries and/or acute conditions

ASSESSMENT SCHEDULE:

Subjects will be enrolled for 12 months including screening visit

* Visit 1: Screening and treatment initiation visit, Day 0

* Follow-up 1 visit: Day 8 (+/-) 3 days

* Follow-up 2 visit \& End of study visit: Day 15 (+/-) 3 days
