  • Title: Ofloxacin versus doxycycline for treatment of cervical infection with Chlamydia trachomatis.
    Author: Hooton TM, Batteiger BE, Judson FN, Spruance SL, Stamm WE.
    Journal: Antimicrob Agents Chemother; 1992 May; 36(5):1144-6. PubMed ID: 1510408.
    Abstract:
    Women with culture-proven Chlamydia trachomatis cervical infection were randomized to receive either ofloxacin (300 mg) or doxycycline (100 mg), orally twice daily for 7 days. All 56 had negative cultures 5 to 9 days after treatment. Four weeks after treatment, 26 (93%) of 28 ofloxacin-treated patients and all 22 doxycycline-treated patients were cured. We conclude that 300 mg of ofloxacin given twice daily for 7 days provides effective therapy for chlamydial infection of the cervix.
