Abstract
Ora; ciprofloxacin was studied as a prophylactic antimicrobial agent in high- and low-risk patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Ciprofloxacin appeared to be effective, good serum levels were attained, and the drug compared favourably on grounds of cost and convenience with a parenterally-administered cephalosporin.
