Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Sexually Transmitted Diseases:

1.	Contraceptive Agents (Contraceptives)IBA 12/01/1993 - "Most hormonal non-barrier contraceptives, although providing excellent protection against unwanted pregnancies, provide little protection against STDs. " 03/01/2006 - "It is recognized that barrier contraceptives provide considerable protection against STDs, but they are not regarded as 100% protective. " 07/01/2009 - "There is an urgent need to develop safe, effective, dual-purpose contraceptive agents that combine the prevention of pregnancy with protection against sexually transmitted diseases. " 01/01/1993 - "Improved and safe contraceptives and pharmaceuticals which will protect against sexually transmitted diseases should be developed, with renewed emphasis placed on new contraceptives for men. " 02/19/1992 - " Soon after, however, the FDA issued new guidelines which streamlined the approach for bringing to market female barrier contraceptives which offer protection against STDs. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	LatexIBA 03/01/1992 - "As health care personnel contact with latex products increases because of new guidelines for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, more adverse reactions in this subpopulation will occur." 01/01/1999 - " When used correctly and consistently, latex condoms offer the best protection against the transmission of STDs, including HIV, but they are not highly effective in preventing pregnancy. " 01/01/1998 - " The following reasons are presented and discussed as to why people should have more confidence in latex condoms: when used correctly, condoms are highly reliable and effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease; latex condoms provide an impermeable mechanical barrier to bacteria, viruses, and sperm; most users do not break condoms, and a proportion of breakage is preventable; modern condoms are manufactured with considerable precision; use of the proper lubricant improves condom use; condoms in intact foil packages last at least 5 years; and quality control and post-production quality assurance help to ensure the manufacture of a reliable product. " 01/01/1998 - "When used regularly and correctly, latex condoms are highly reliable and effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. " 04/01/1989 - "However, since condoms can be damaged after manufacturing inspection and prior to use, latex condoms alone should not be perceived as absolute protection against STDs. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Nonoxynol (Nonoxynol 9)FDA Link 11/18/1988 - " Nonoxynol-9, the most common spermicide used in the US, is a chemical surfactant that destroys the cell walls of sperm and offers some protection against sexually transmitted diseases. " 08/20/1999 - "Although no statistically significant differences in adverse outcomes were detected, clinically there appeared to be an increase in minor lesions and self-reported side-effects with nonoxynol-9 and less protection against sexually transmitted diseases with the placebo. " 01/01/1987 - " Furthermore, laboratory studies indicate that spermicides such as nonoxynol-9 are effective against a variety of STDs, including HIV. " 12/01/1990 - " Spermicides, such as nonoxynol 9, are effective against STDs. " 08/20/1998 - "A controlled trial of nonoxynol 9 film to reduce male-to-female transmission of sexually transmitted diseases." Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Anti-Bacterial Agents (Antibiotics)IBA 09/01/1997 - "Treating sexually transmitted diseases with inexpensive antibiotics may be effective in HIV prevention." 07/01/1986 - "In this era of sexually transmitted diseases that are not readily cured by antibiotics, use of effective preventive measures should be strongly encouraged." 03/01/1996 - "Not all STDs are readily cured by antibiotics, and because many adolescents are asymptomatic, many STDs initially go undetected and untreated. " 01/01/2009 - "gonorrhoeae was 37.4% (43/115), without significant association with gender, age, sexual behaviour, past history of sexually transmitted diseases and susceptibility to other antibiotics. " 01/01/2009 - "STDs caused by bacteria can be treated with antibiotics, although the susceptibility pattern of many etiologic microbes has changed over the past few decades. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Anti-Infective Agents (Microbicides)IBA 07/01/1999 - "There is considerable interest in developing topical microbicides; products to be used intravaginally by women for protection against sexually transmitted diseases. " 05/01/1999 - "OBJECTIVE: Safe and effective vaginally applied microbicides could help to control the continuing spread of sexually transmitted diseases. " 10/01/2008 - "BACKGROUND: The development of topical microbicides represents a new and exciting field in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, and it is especially important that candidate products undergo rigorous preclinical safety and efficacy testing before advancing to clinical trials. " 07/01/1985 - " In 1981 100 females who had received no antimicrobial agents in the month prior to examination and who were detained for more than 24 hours and available for comprehensive examinations were selected for this study of the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases in females in a juvenile detention center. " 05/01/2009 - "Role of microbicides in the prevention of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases - a review." Order ALL the reference details at left...
6.	Oral ContraceptivesIBA 01/01/1987 - " Although oral contraceptives are popular among teenagers and are very effective in preventing pregnancy, they have little effect on the prevention of STDs. " 01/01/1998 - " A Kenyan study found that treating STDs and providing oral contraceptives saved money by collapsing treatment into one instead of two visits. " 03/01/1997 - "CONCLUSION: Future studies need to fully characterize the risks and benefits of oral contraceptives in relation to sexually transmitted diseases." 05/01/2001 - "CONCLUSIONS: Legalization of oral contraceptives in Japan has led to an urgent need to educate both men and women on the inability of the pill to protect against STDs, including HIV Policymakers and providers need to recognize the importance of encouraging dual method use in Japan." 07/01/1995 - "Variables studied were human papillomavirus status, viral load, viral types, sexual behavior, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive patterns, oral contraceptives, and smoking. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
7.	VaccinesIBA 11/01/2007 - "It is also anticipated that widespread use of vaccines that offer protection against HPV-6 and -11 could potentially reduce the workload at STD clinics by approximately 10% without a substantial impact on the diagnosis and treatment of other STDs. " 01/01/1998 - "We evaluated the willingness of clients at a large urban sexually transmitted diseases (STD) clinic in the southeastern United States to participate in future trials of preventive vaccines for HIV type 1 (HIV-1). " 06/01/2009 - "For example, concerns about providing vaccines to prevent sexually transmitted diseases are less frequent with respect to older adolescents; issues of consent vary widely between 11 and 25 years of age; and financial barriers/potential solutions vary by age. " 07/01/2005 - "Venereal diseases of cattle: natural history, diagnosis, and the role of vaccines in their control." 06/01/2005 - "Progress in vaccines for sexually transmitted diseases."

8.	Levonorgestrel (Plan B)FDA LinkGeneric 06/01/1994 - "Possible risks from Norplant use include changes in carbohydrate, liver, and lipid metabolism but they tend to be clinically insignificant and no protection against STDs/HIV. " 05/01/1995 - " Noted was the difficulty balancing the effectiveness of Norplant in preventing adolescent pregnancy against unknown long-term health effects and an inability to protect against sexually transmitted diseases. " 05/01/1995 - " Although these findings indicate that Norplant use does not increase the risk of poor compliance with reproductive health care, they indicate a need to convince teenagers of the benefits of such care, especially for the detection of sexually transmitted diseases." 07/01/1994 - "These results identified a need for an intervention to protect Norplant acceptors from STDs." 01/01/1994 - " The Toronto Women's Health Network is concerned that Norplant use among teens, welfare recipients, and women of color will lead to higher rates of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). " Order ALL the reference details at left...
9.	Ofloxacin (Levofloxacin)FDA LinkGeneric 01/01/1986 - "gonorrhoeae, ofloxacin, with its unique mechanism of action, and its broad spectrum activity against pathogens, may prove useful in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases." 09/01/1993 - "Of 5,667 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from the Government Social Hygiene (sexually transmitted disease) Clinics in Hong Kong from 1990 to 1992, there was a trend toward an increase in the percentage of strains resistant in vitro to 0.01 and 0.1 microgram of ofloxacin per ml, with 54.3 and 5.5% resistant strains, respectively, in January 1990, rising to 95.3 and 41.5%, respectively, in December 1992. " 05/01/1991 - "The clinical experience with ofloxacin in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases." 12/29/1989 - "Efficacy and safety of ofloxacin in the treatment of nongonococcal sexually transmitted disease." 01/01/1986 - "Experience with ofloxacin in the United States in the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases is reviewed. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
10.	Spermatocidal AgentsIBA 11/30/1990 - "[Sexually transmitted diseases and spermatocidal agents]" 05/01/1983 - " It offers a degree of protection against sexually transmitted diseases and in combination with spermicidal agents is almost as effective as the OC or IUD. " 02/01/1992 - "Vaginal spermicides offer protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases to many women throughout the world whose partners refuse to use condoms. " 12/01/1991 - " Although no conclusive data exists on whether spermicides used alone or with condoms effectively protect against STDs, use of vaginal spermicides should be considered a viable alternative for protection against both pregnancy and some STDs, especially among women whose partners refuse to use condoms. " 03/01/2001 - "The use of condoms and vaginal spermicides continues to be recommended for all sexually active adolescents to reduce (not eliminate) the risk for acquiring sexually transmitted diseases. " Order ALL the reference details at left...

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Condoms (Condom) 01/01/2008 - "To date, the condom is the most effective method available for males for protection against STDs. " 11/01/2005 - "Male condoms are undoubtedly the best protection against sexually transmitted diseases. " 01/01/2004 - "Although male condoms are the best form of protection against HIV/STDs, they are not the most effective method for preventing unintended pregnancy. " 03/01/1997 - " Of continuing concern is the possibility that the labeling of spermicides as effective against STDs will reduce use of condoms, the most effective barrier to HIV transmission." 01/01/1996 - "Among a nationally representative sample of 932 sexually experienced unmarried women aged 17-44, 41% reported using condoms for protection against sexually transmitted diseases, and 30% said they used condoms for this reason every time or most times they had intercourse. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
2.	Contraception (Birth Control) 10/01/1997 - "Increased educational efforts should emphasize safe sexual practices (barrier methods) to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and highly efficacious methods of contraception (hormonal contraception) to avoid unintended pregnancy." 01/01/1995 - " Education on HIV/STDs is more likely to be effective in changing behaviors if it is incorporated into a broader program of sexual health promotion which includes contraception, gender relations, sexuality, sexual pleasure, and abuse." 03/01/1992 - "The need for contraceptive methods that provide effective protection against both pregnancy and STDs has been intensified by the HIV epidemic, but progress has been slowed by the lack of integration between the STD and family planning fields. " 01/01/1988 - " The following services are to be included in the program: 1) patient education and counseling on options for timing and spacing pregnancy; 2) comprehensive medical services to prevent and control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases; and 3) access to safe and effective methods of contraception. " 01/01/2004 - "It also provides moderate protection against sexually transmitted diseases and is less expensive than some contraceptive methods (e.g., oral contraceptive pills). " Order ALL the reference details at left...
3.	Female Condoms (Female Condom) 04/01/1999 - "Clinical trials suggest that the female condom is highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV/STDs if used properly. " 02/01/2000 - " Results from international studies on the efficacy of female condoms include: 1) ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies; 2) ability to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV; 3) expansion of choice in increasing protection; 4) acceptability of the female condom to a wide range of men and women; 4) safety of the product; 5) easier use through constant practice; 6) provision of additional emotional comfort, sense of security and control; 7) cost-effectiveness as a prevention program; and 8) the need for a more strategic introduction in other countries. " 04/01/1995 - " Also recommended for use by adolescents is the new female condom--the only female-controlled method that confers protection against both pregnancy and STDs. " 11/01/1997 - " The female condom has been demonstrated to be effective in vitro against transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, but evidence of efficacy in vivo remains limited. " 09/01/1991 - "The "female condom," a new contraceptive which may offer women protection against STDs, could soon be out in the market. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
4.	Intrauterine Devices (Intrauterine Device) 10/01/1991 - " Unfortunately those methods which are most effective in preventing pregnancy, pill and IUDs, are not particularly useful in preventing STDs, as are the less effective barriers and spermicides." 02/01/1999 - "This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using risk assessment algorithms in predicting sexually transmitted disease (STD) and subsequent IUD-related complications among IUD candidates. " 07/01/1992 - " A new study from WHO showed no increased risk of PID among IUD users at low risk for sexually transmitted diseases, although the risk of PID appears to be greater in the 1st month after insertion. " 01/01/1987 - " A major limitation of the World Health Organization (WHO) sponsored research in Thailand, India, Nigeria, the Philippines, Chile, and South Korea -- 1 of the few large studies of the relationship between IUD use and PID undertaken in developing countries -- was its lack of information about participants' sexual histories and number of sexual partners, an indicator of increased risk of sexually transmitted disease. " 01/01/1987 - " Studies need to measure IUD users' exposure to sexually transmitted diseases in order to establish accurate causal links with PID. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Postcoital Contraception (Emergency Contraception) 02/18/1991 - " These guidelines include: high efficacy, protection against STDs, postcoital contraception in case of omission, regular annual medical checkups, taking no chances with unprotected sex and considering sterilization when family size has been completed." 01/27/1997 - " Nurses are in an ideal position to answer women's questions about the safety and efficacy of emergency contraception, counsel them on their options, and make referrals for routine gynecologic care and sexually transmitted disease screening. " 01/01/1998 - "This study was undertaken to 1) identify the characteristics of emergency postcoital contraception clients, their acceptance of sexual health screening, and the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases in this group and 2) to determine the effect of the introduction of a consultation proforma on the quality of information obtained from the client. " 01/01/2006 - "Similarly, survivors who worked with an advocate during their emergency department care received more medical services, including emergency contraception and sexually transmitted disease prophylaxis, reported significantly fewer negative interpersonal interactions with medical system personnel, and reported less distress from their medical contact experiences." 10/01/2005 - "This article reviews the empirical literature regarding the effectiveness of SANE programs in five domains:(a) promoting the psychological recovery of survivors, (b) providing comprehensive and consistent post-rape medical care (e.g., emergency contraception, sexually transmitted disease [STD] prophylaxis), (c) documenting the forensic evidence of the crime completely and accurately, (d) improving the prosecution of sexual assault cases by providing better forensics and expert testimony, and (e) creating community change by bringing multiple service providers together to provide comprehensive care to rape survivors.
