title: [Clinical effectiveness of short-term administration of norfloxacin in acute urethritis].
abstract: Thirty patients with acute urethritis were treated with short-term administration of norfloxacin. The drug was administered randomly in two regimens: Two 400 mg oral doses for a single day or three 200 mg oral doses for three days. For gonorrheal urethritis, the efficacy rates of one and three-day administrations were 75 and 90%, respectively. For non-gonorrheal urethritis, they were 75% each. No adverse effects were observed. The results indicate that short-term administration of norfloxacin is useful in the treatment of acute urethritis, especially for gonorrheal urethritis.
