A Gottlieb et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1986 Aug.

Abstract

Oral cefuroxime axetil (1 g) plus probenecid cured 29 of 30 urethral and 6 of 6 rectal gonococcal infections in men; alone the drug cured 22 of 23 urethral and 4 of 6 rectal infections. No toxicity was observed. Cefuroxime axetil alone is effective for urethral gonorrhea in males; rectal gonorrhea probably requires additional probenecid.
