Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Epididymitis:
1. Tetracycline (Achromycin)FDA LinkGeneric
06/01/1979 - "Antibiotic therapy with tetracycline was effective for the treatment of men with Chlamydia trachomatis epididymitis and should be offered to the female sex partners."
10/06/1978 - "But a bacteriological ejaculate culture should be carried out in all cases of acute epididymitis at the first consultation so that the antibiotic treatment can be begun immediately afterwards with a tetracycline preparation. "
01/01/1982 - "Seven day regimens of either a tetracycline or erythromycin are generally preferred for uncomplicated infections, but ten days of a tetracycline is preferred for complications like acute pelvic inflammatory disease or epididymitis. "
12/01/1995 - " The major complications were: 1) 0.3% had hematoma, 2 cases required surgical drainage; 2) 0.26% had infection, 2 cases required surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotics for scrotal abscess; 3) 1.14% had epididymitis, a congestive type that responded well to anti-inflammatory drugs, while in some cases tetracycline was needed; 4) 0.22% had vasocutaneous fistula, which were resected without problems; and 5) 0.30% had other complications including granulomas of the cord or the scrotal wall. "
12/01/1985 - "Recurrence of urethritis, accompanied by epididymitis, was associated this time with the recovery of a different (tetracycline sensitive) ureaplasma strain; the urethritis and epididymitis were treated successfully with a combination of netilmicin and doxycycline. "
