New drug class for gonorrhea treatment

[SirBillybob]

I mentioned gepotidacin and zoliflodacin about a year ago as noninferior alternative candidates for standard treatment and there are now emerging updates, particularly regarding the former. If interested just Google either term. Neither medication is being researched yet for gonorrhea / gonococcal prophylaxis.

It’s good news, but as with most oral treatments for Gonorrhoea I predict resistance will develop rapidly, making this another longer term failure.

Time will tell.
