[Results of using morphocycline for the treatment of fresh, uncomplicated gonorrhea in men].

A total of 30 males suffering from fresh non-complicated gonorrhea were treated with morphocycline (N-morpholinmethyltetracycline). The diagnosis in all cases was confirmed by bacterioscopic and cultural tests. The drug was administered intravenously in a dose of 0.15 mg 2 times at an interval of 12 hours. Stable recovery was observed in 17 patients. Resistance to the treatment was found in 4 patients and relapses of the disease within 1 to 9 days after the treatment discontinuation were registered in 9 patients. It was concluded that morphocycline in the usual doses was not sufficiently effective.
