A daily dose of 1.0-1.5g of amoxicillin, a synthetic penicillin, was tried as an antiluetic in 9 cases of syphilis. Oral administration for 4 weeks makes up one course of treatment. One of the patients was given two courses of treatment.
Amoxicillin showed effect in 6 patients out of 9 (66.7%).
Constipation and diarrhoea were observed in two cases and one case as side effects, and they were controlled easily.
Amoxicillin could be a very effective and safe antiluetic.
