Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy Comparative Trial of Azithromycin SR Versus Levofloxacin for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Maxillary Sinusitis in

Brief Summary: The objectives of the study were to confirm that a single, 2.0-g dose of azithromycin sustained release (SR) was at least as effective to 10 days of oral levofloxacin 500 mg once a day, when used to treat adults with uncomplicated, acute bacterial sinus infections, and to evaluate the safety of both treatments.
