- Neisseria gonorrhoeae has become resistant to all previous antibiotics, necessitating the search for new treatments.
- Carbamazepine (Cz), an antiepileptic drug, has shown promise in blocking the infection process and clearing established gonorrheal infections in cervical cells.
- In a study of 16 women, Cz was found in their vaginal fluid at levels high enough to significantly reduce viable gonococci, supporting Cz's potential as a targeted therapy for gonococcal cervicitis.
