Desired Help: Hello Doctor! I would like to ask: Can roxithromycin be used to treat prostatitis? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have been diagnosed with prostatitis, you can take azithromycin to reduce inflammation and treat it. However, azithromycin is not the first-choice anti-inflammatory medication. The first-choice drugs are quinolone-class anti-inflammatory medications, such as levofloxacin tablets. If you have not taken levofloxacin before, it is recommended that you start with levofloxacin. If you have already taken multiple anti-inflammatory medications without good results, you can consider azithromycin. Taking this medication can improve urinary discomfort caused by prostatitis but will not cause retrograde ejaculation. You can take appropriately to regulate it, pay attention to moderate sexual activity, exercise moderately, quit smoking, and limit alcohol consumption.
