Objective To investigate the differences in efficacy of clarithromycin and azithromycin in the treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis. Methods The patients with non-gonococcal urethritis admitted to the Agency Kang were randomly divided into two groups, the clarithromycin group and the azithromycin group, and 80 cases in each group. The differences in efficacy, incidence of adverse reactions, and the relapse rate of the two groups were compared. Results After a course of treatment, the total efficiency and remarkable efficiency rate of the azithromycin group was 92.50% and 68.75%, significantly higher than the clarithromycin group of 72.50% and 52.50%, P <0.05. The adverse reactions mainly were abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and headache, dizziness, and there was no significant difference in the incidence. 1 month follow-up found that the recurrence rate of the azithromycin group was significantly lower than the clarithromycin group.
