چکیده

For 10 years vaginal trichomoniasis has been treated by oral chemotherapy. Some cases appear not to respond satisfactorily to the drug used, and it is important to know whether or not the patient is taking the drug, and if so, whether or not it is being absorbed from the alimentary tract. A simple method for detecting these drugs in urine may be of use in such cases. Two antitrichomonal drugs in current use are metronidazole ('Flagyl' May and Baker) and nitrimidazine ('Naxogin' Carlo Erba). Both are derivatives of 5-nitroimidazole (Figs 1 and 2).

Nitrimidazine (Naxogin) compared with metronidazole (Flagyl) in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis.

For more than 10 years very satisfactory results have been obtained in the treatment of trichomonal vaginitis using the standard 7-day course of metronidazole 200 mg. three times a day (Rodin, King, Nicol, and Barrow, 1960). In a recent trial it was shown that a 5-day course of 400 mg. twice daily produced equally satisfactory results, and was probably an easier regime from the patient's point ...
