  • Title: Clinical efficacy of dirithromycin versus miocamycin in the treatment of acute bronchitis or acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis.
    Author: Pozzi E.
    Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother; 1993 Mar; 31 Suppl C():153-8. PubMed ID: 8478306.
    Abstract:
    A multicentre trial was carried out to compare the efficacy and safety of dirithromycin with miocamycin in the treatment of patients with acute bronchitis or acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. The study was a single-blind, randomized, parallel-group study. Dirithromycin was administered orally at a dosage of 500 mg once daily and miocamycin was administered orally at a dosage of 600 mg twice daily; the duration of therapy was five to seven days for both drugs. The results, in 161 assessable patients (78 taking dirithromycin; 83 taking miocamycin), show that dirithromycin and miocamycin have comparable efficacy and safety in the treatment of bronchitis caused by susceptible bacterial pathogens.
