[Experience with the use of ciprofloxacin in patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis].

Abstract

The efficacy of ciprofloxacin was studied in the treatment of 50 women (the average age of 41.6 years) with acute noncomplicated cystitis. The drug was administered in a dose of 100 mg twice a day for 3 days. The reference group included 15 women with the same disease subjected to the routine therapy with cotrimoxazol in a dose of 8 mg and pipemidic acid in a dose of 100 mg administered twice a day. The positive results evident from the subjective clinical improvement and no veritable bacteriuria were stated in 46 patients (92 per cent). The effect was at the average observed in 36 hours in the ciprofloxacin group while in the reference group it was at the average stated in 81.2 hours from the treatment start.
