Abstract

Two single-dose regimens of ciprofloxacin, 100 and 250 mg, were compared in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women. Cure rates 5 days after therapy did not significantly differ, being 16 of 19 (84%) with the 100-mg dose and 17 of 19 (89%) with the 250-mg dose. Ciprofloxacin was well tolerated.
