Prostatitis

Question 1

What antibiotic treatment is available?

Answer 1

Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily or ofloxacin 200 mg twice daily first line, or if they are unsuitable trimethoprim 200 mg twice daily.

Levofloxacin 500 mg once daily, or co-trimoxazole 960 mg twice daily (when there is bacteriological evidence of sensitivity and good reasons to prefer this combination to a single antibiotic) second-line.

All for 14 days
