BACKGROUND The delivery of combination contraceptive steroids from a transdermal contraceptive patch or a contraceptive vaginal ring offers potential advantages over the traditional oral route. The transdermal patch and vaginal ring could require a lower dose due to increased bioavailability and

In a multicenter, randomized, open, comparative trial, patients with uncomplicated gonorrhea were treated with 400 mg of oral fleroxacin or 250 mg of intramuscular ceftriaxone. A total of 458 men and 447 women were enrolled. Of these, 312 men (68%) and 245 women (55%) were evaluable for efficacy.

BACKGROUND Quality of life (QOL) is impaired in functional dyspepsia (FD). Little is known about the effects of different therapies on the QOL profile in patients with this condition. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to measure baseline QOL in patients with FD and to assess changes in QOL over

The authors report their results of the treatment of the vaginal mycosis with Orungal (Janssen-Cilag). Twenty two sexually active women are included in the study, all with clinical signs of fungal vaginitis. Microscopic examination of vaginal secretions and fungal cultures are performed for all of

Ertapenem, a carbapenem antibacterial, has in vitro activity against many Gram- negative (including Enterobacteriaceae) and Gram-positive aerobic and anaerobic bacteria that are commonly associated with various infections.Once-daily parenteral (intravenous or intramuscular) ertapenem 1g was as

Two different doses of cefaclor advanced formulation (AF), a new sustained-release formulation of cefaclor, were compared with the regular formulation of cefaclor for efficacy and safety in the treatment of uncomplicated cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria. A 7-day course of treatment was used,

In a primary care setting, the efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin (CIP) 500 mg b.i.d. were compared with those of cefuroxime axetil (CA) 250 mg b.i.d., each given for 10 days, in a nationwide, open, prospective, randomized trial of 1414 adults with acute sinusitis. Patients were enrolled if they

OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to (1) quantify the frequency of underrecognized Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections in pregnant women tested in the emergency department (ED), (2) describe the characteristics of those not treated during the initial visit,

BACKGROUND Treatment guidelines for acute bacterial sinusitis recommend 10 to 14 days of therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate, high-dose amoxicillin, cefpodoxime, cefuroxime, or a newer fluoroquinolone. OBJECTIVE This study compared the clinical efficacy of short-course (5-day) gatifloxacin with

In this comparative trial, outpatients with acute sinusitis were randomly assigned to receive levofloxacin (500 mg orally once daily) or amoxicillin-clavulanate (500/125 mg orally 3 times daily) for 10 to 14 days. The success rates (cured and improved) 2 to 5 days after the end of treatment were

Two multicenter trials compared single-dose oral therapy with 400 mg of ofloxacin or 3 g of amoxicillin plus 1 g of probenecid in the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea in 160 men and 102 women. Patients with a known diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infection were excluded. All pretreatment

We carried out a multiple-center study, including a double-blined randomized clinical trial on fluconazole (Flu, group A) and ketoconazole (Keto, group B) and an open trial on Flu only for evaluating the efficacy and safety of Flu in treating deep and shallow fungal infection. 222 patients

Antibiotic therapy is of clinical benefit in certain patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (AECB). In this randomised, investigator-blinded, multicentre trial, azithromycin (500mg once a day (qd) for 3 days) was compared with moxifloxacin (400mg qd for 5 days) for the treatment of
