Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole and Minocycline-Hydrochloride in the Treatment of Culture-Proved Bacterial Prostatitis

Abstract

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 2 tablets twice daily for 90 days, or minocycline-hydrochloride, 100 mg. twice daily for 14 days, was given to 15 and 14 men, respectively, with culture-proved bacterial prostatitis. Given as prescribed both agents seemed equally effective in controlling symptomatic recurrence during the 12 months after cessation of therapy.
