Abstract
An open, randomized general practice study was performed to assess the comparative efficacy and tolerability of ciprofloxacin and amoxycillin/clavulanic acid in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection. One hundred and eighty nine patients were recruited into the study. In comparison of pre- and post-treatment urine cultures and symptomatology, ciprofloxacin was significantly more effective (P less than 0.01) than amoxycillin/clavulanic acid. Both drugs were well tolerated with minimal adverse side effects. Ciprofloxacin is an effective and safe treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infection in general practice.Entities:
