Composition
Each tablet contains Ofloxacin 200 mg
Action
Ofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent for oral administration; it has thought to exert a bactericidal effect on susceptible micro- organisms by inhibiting DNA gyrase, an essential enzyme that is a critical catalyst in the duplication, transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA.
Ofloxacin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration. Ofloxacin diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids but not into the brain and spinal fluid. It achieves good penetration into bronchial secretions and achieves high urinary concentrations of the unchanged antibiotic.
