    Journal: Sex Transm Dis; 1989; 16(1):7-10. PubMed ID: 2667156.
    Abstract:
    Ninety-five patients with nongonococcal urethritis were enrolled in a double-blind study and were randomly assigned to a one-week treatment with ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice daily) or ofloxacin (200 mg twice daily). Two weeks after treatment the results obtained for the 79 evaluated patients were as follows: 59 patients (75%) were clinically cured, and of the 54 patients with initial positive cultures, 39 (72%) remained culture-negative. We did not find any statistically significant differences between the results obtained with the two treatments. These results did not vary with the cause. Patient compliance with the regimens of two doses per day was excellent, and no serious adverse effects occurred with either drug.
