Treatment of Gonorrhoea in Males with a Single Oral Dose of Ampicillin Combined with Probenecid

Abstract

A total of sixty cases of acute and subacute gonorrhoeal urethritis in males were treated with a single oral dose of ampicillin combined with probenecid. All of the patients were examined at least twice during the post-treatment period and a recovery rate of 95% was obtained in the study. The treatment was shown to be not only highly effective but also well tolerated and accepted by the patients as well as being extremely easy of administration.
