Function
- Bactericidal Activity: Norfloxacin exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting the DNA synthesis of bacteria, leading to bacterial cell death. It is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- Broad-Spectrum Coverage: With its broad-spectrum activity, norfloxacin can treat a wide range of bacterial infections, making it a valuable tool in both human and veterinary medicine.
- Improved Bioavailability: Norfloxacin is well-absorbed after oral administration, achieving high concentrations in tissues and body fluids, including the urinary tract, where it exerts its antibacterial effect.
Application
- Human Medicine: Norfloxacin is prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, gonorrhea, prostatitis, gastrointestinal infections, typhoid fever, and other Salmonella infections.
- Veterinary Medicine: It is also used in veterinary practice for the treatment of bacterial infections in animals, such as those affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems.
- Ophthalmic Use: Norfloxacin can be formulated as eye drops for the treatment of external eye infections, such as conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers.
