    Author: Bailey RR, Keenan TD, Eliott JC, Peddie BA, Bishop V.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1985 May 22; 98(779):387-9. PubMed ID: 3887254.
    Abstract:
    A single dose of trimethoprim, co-trimoxazole or amoxycillin was compared with a five-day course of trimethoprim for the treatment of bacterial cystitis in general practice. The respective cure rates were 80%, 80%, 65% and 86%. These differences were not statistically significant. Side effects were minimal. Single dose therapy is recommended as the treatment of choice for bacterial cystitis in domiciliary practice.
