A double blind study comparing two dosages of enoxacin for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhoea

Abstract: A double blind pilot study was done to compare the efficacy and safety of treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhoea with two dosages of enoxacin. Eleven patients were treated with 600 mg enoxacin as a single oral dose and eleven patients were given 400 mg twice with an interval of 4 h. A cure rate of 100% was found with both dosages. No side effects were noted and there were no abnormalities in haematological tests or renal and hepatic function tests after treatment. MIC's of enoxacin and other relevant antibiotic… Show more

“…Other open or comparative studies with single doses of norfloxacin (800 mg) (9, 44), ciprofloxacin (100 to 500 mg) (30,48,56), ofloxacin (200 to 600 mg) (3,14,33,42), enoxacin (200 to 600 mg) (4,38,50,55,60), or fleroxacin (400 mg) (8) confirmed the efficacy of fluoroquinolones in the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea. Treatment failures for gonococcal urethritis or cervicitis have been rare with these agents, except for patients treated with lower doses of enoxacin.…”
