Abstract

Twenty-one adult male outpatients with gonococcal (GUC) or chlamydial (NGU), and gonococcal/chlamydial (GCU/NGU) urethritis were treated with temafloxacin. It was given at a dose of 300~600 mg a day for 4~28 days (8.7 ±5.7 days). Eradication of the organisms was obtained for GCU in 14/14 (100%), NGU 3/3 (100%), and GCU/NGU 4/4 (100%). Clinically, the drug proved to be highly effective for male urethritis, and it was well tolerated by all patients treated.
