Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally twice daily was compared to pivampicillin 700 mg orally twice daily for 10 days in 172 men (41-85 years) with acute epididymitis. Failure of treatment occurred in 48 patients, in 15/76 (19.7%) receiving ciprofloxacin versus in 33/82 (40.2%) receiving pivampicillin (p = 0.006). Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally twice daily is more effective than pivampicillin 700 mg orally twice daily and has fewer adverse events.
