Twelve postmenopausal women who experienced frequent urinary tract infections were found to have atrophic vaginitis. Four of them who were taking sulfonamide preparations chronically also had an interstitial nephritis manifest by decreasing glomerular filtration rate and eosinophiluria. Treatment consisted of a Betadine douche daily for 1 week, administration of an appropriate nonsulfonamide an...

The purpose of this review is to summarize current information regarding the pathophysiology and management of vaginal atrophy (sometimes called "atrophic vaginitis") and to identify barriers to its treatment with local (or "topical") vaginal estrogen therapy. Relevant clinical trials, meta-analyses, and reviews were identified through the PubMed database. Local estrogen therapy is effective an...

The aim of the present work was the development of chitosan ascorbate nanoparticles (CSA NPs) loaded into a fast-dissolving matrix for the delivery of antibiotic drugs in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis. CSA NPs loaded with amoxicillin trihydrate (AX) were obtained by ionotropic gelation in the presence of pentasodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). Different CSA:TPP and CSA:AX weight ratios were c...

Since penicillin became available for the treatment of bacterial infections, the nontoxicity of the drug has been the subject of universal emphasis. Nevertheless, a number of toxic sequels, chiefly of minor importance, have been reported. These were more frequent in the early days of penicillin therapy, have gradually become less common, and were probably correctly ascribed, in the majority of ...
