  • Title: Roxithromycin and erythromycin in chlamydia-negative non-gonococcal urethritis.
    Author: Worm AM.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1990; 70(3):269-71. PubMed ID: 1972850.
    Abstract:
    The clinical efficacy and safety of roxithromycin 300 mg once a day was compared with that of erythromycin 500 mg twice a day in 87 men with chlamydia-negative non-gonococcal urethritis. In the roxithromycin group the clinical efficacy rate was 88% on day 8 and between 78% and 84% on day 21. In the erythromycin group the clinical efficacy rate was 98% on day 8 and 86% on day 21, a non-significant difference. Side effects were mainly gastrointestinal, occurring in about 15% of patients receiving each treatment.
