Treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis with tri-acetyl-oleandomycin.

Treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis with sigmamycin. A controlled method of investigation.

Sigmamycin is a 2 :1 combination of the antibiotics tetracycline hydrochloride and oleandomycin phosphate, and the claim has been made that this combination exhibits a synergistic action, so that the two drugs together are more potent than the sum of the individual components. To test this claim two separate trial series of patients were treated, using a small dose for a minimum time in the fir...

Sulphadimethyloxazole ('nuprin') with streptomycin in the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis.

The long-acting "sulfamoxole" has the advantage that fewer doses are required. Sulphonamides alone are not particularly successful in non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU). The best results have been obtained with the tetracyclines (with and without oleandomycin), and success rates of 81 -5 to 85 4 per cent. may be obtained (Willcox, 1958). A number of authors (e.g. Lyall, 1953; Jelinek, 1957; Prebbl...

Treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis with novobiocin.

Treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis with spiramycin.

Minocycline in the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis.

108 male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis have been treated with minocycline given as two 100 mg. tablets initially, followed by one tablet twice a day over a period of 6 days (13 tablets). Of 96 patients followed, re-treatment for non-gonococcal urethritis within 3 months was undertaken in ten (10.4 per cent.). The findings are compared with those previously reported in seven series inv...
