title: [Use of ofloxacin in 45 cases of infection of the lower urinary tract in women].
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.
