  • Title: [Oxolinic acid treatment of urinary sepsis in patients with renal insufficiency].
    Author: Biagini M, Curatola G, Gabbrielli G, Maggiore Q.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1979 Feb 25; 70(9):675-8. PubMed ID: 440624.
    Abstract:
    The effect of oxolinic acid, administered at the rate of 750 mg twice/day, has been studied on 31 patients with urinary tract infections. Many of them had a marked impairment of renal function due to nephropathies of various origin. Favourable results, with sterile urine and complete remission of symptoms, were obtained in 73.3%. Patients who were resistant to previous different therapies, were successfully treated. Oxolinic acid was on the whole well tolerated and proved to be effective also in patients with impaired renal function. In some of the latter an improvement in renal function occurred as a result of the effective urinary infection care. The tolerability of oxolinic acid was good: only one patient interrupted the treatment because of insomnia; other 4 had transient and mild side-effects.
