Cinoxacin for treatment and prevention of recurrent urinary tract infection

Cinoxacin, an orally administered synthetic antimicrobial agent, is highly effective in the treatment of urinary tract caused by most urinary tract pathogens. Its high prolonged urinary concentration, low incidence of adverse reactions, low fecal concentration, infrequent induction of resistant bacterial strains, and broad antimicrobial spectrum are valuable attributes. Its efficacy for prolonged low-dose preventive therapy of frequently recurring infections adds to this new drug's importance.
