The gradual decrease in susceptibility of the gonococcus to penicillin has led authorities to recommend ever larger doses for the therapy of gonorrhoea. The current recommendation of the U.S. Public Health Service for the treatment of infections in women is the administration of 4-8 m.u. aqueous procaine penicillin; one half that amount is advised for cases in men.

متن کاملSingle oral dose of 1-5g. talampicillin in the treatment of gonorrhoea.
81 patients have been treated with single oral doses of 1-5 g. (6 tablets) of talampicillin without probenecid. The failure rate amongst those followed was only 4-2 per cent.

Talampicillin is thus the most potent ampicillin-like anti...

متن کاملMinocycline hydrochloride (Minocin) as a single-dose oral treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhoea in men.
349 male patients with uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis were treated with a single dose of 300 mg. or 400 mg. minocycline hydrochloride. The lower dose gave a lower failure rate, 3-2 compared with 5-1 per cent., but this difference was not statistically significant. The overall known failure rate of 4-2 per cent. compares most favourably with our previous findings in this area using other dr...
