Abstract
There were 460 women with uncomplicated gonorrhea treated with a single oral dose of 1.5 g talampicillin. The success rate among those who attended at least 1 follow-up examination after treatment was 99.14%. The antibiotic was well tolerated and no side effects were reported. Talampicillin given under supervision proved to be the most effective and safest treatment in this area. A smaller dosage of talampicillin than ampicillin is required; the drug is better tolerated by the patient and the time of nursing staff is saved.
