Fluoroquinolones are modern antimicrobials, developed relatively recently. They have many advantages over other broad spectrum antibiotics. Drugs in this group do not actually cause immunodeficiency. Fluoroquinolones have an even broader spectrum of effects on microorganisms.
Preparations of the tetracyclin group may also be used. Most often these funds are prescribed for infectious and chronic inflammatory prostatitis.
Antibacterial drugs are prescribed only after testing for infection. Until results are available, symptomatic therapy is performed with the aim of reducing pain and inflammation.
