to think that its probably Cefzil and not Kefzol. As for the Zofran, normally I would say probably incorrect; however, oddly enough, I am finding lots of ophthalmologic sites with Zofran referenced as intravitreous. In my drug references, it states that Zofran can be used for many other things other than nausea. I can't confirm the Zofran intravitreous because the sites are the kind you have to pay for, i.e. medical journals. Perhaps the QA person has first-hand knowledge of this combo, or they are shooting from the cuff and incorrect. I would definitely write to my supervisor and QKL or whatever they are called, in a friendly manner, and ask if they could confirm this combo, as you had never heard of it, nor did anyone on an MT word board, something like that. Friendly, but assertive. Personally, I would go with it probably being wrong, and that would, indeed, be a terrible error. My current refs also have Kefzol as being discontinued in the US. But I do know that Cefzil can be given intravitreous for eye problems or surgery, etc. Zofran is pulling up that way as well, for some sort of opthalmic condition, but I can't get into the text. Perhaps QA went with that same Google hit, which is always a mistake if one can't follow the lead to completion. Lots of hits on Google are not valid, and you have to do the research for the definitive answer, especially with meds. Great question!
