• Abstract:

    Ceftriaxone and sulfisoxazole are known to be contraindicated for use in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia due to their high protein-binding ability and daily doses. However, indomethacin, with very high protein-binding ability (99%), is commonly used for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates.
