ABSTRACT

Forty-five female patients affected by lower urinary tract infections without secondary complications were examined. Ofloxacin was administered in three different dosages in order to evaluate drug efficacy and tolerance 600 mg/day for 3 days in 22 cases; 300 mg/day for 3 days in 22 cases; 600 mg/day for 5 days in 1 case. Adverse effects were insignificant; clinical remission was virtually complete and urine tests proved negative in 98% of cases. On the basis of these findings it is possible to state that Ofloxacin therapy is efficacious in lower urinary tract infections without secondary complications in women.
