3. Mechanism of action of the active ingredient Ofloxacin in G fluorine 200
The active ingredient Ofloxacin of G fluorine acts as a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic similar to Ciprofloxacin, but the bioavailability of Ofloxacin when taken orally is usually higher (> 95%). According to research, the active ingredient Ofloxacin has a relatively broad antibacterial spectrum, including:Sensitive strains: Bacillus anthracis, Acinetobacter beaumannii, Staphylococcus, Campylobacter, Branhamella catarrhalis, Escherrichia coli, Citrobacter freundit, Bordetella pertussis, Klebsiella pneumonia , Enterobacter cloacae, Morganella morganii, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus vulgaris, Proteus mirabilis, Legionella, Neisseria pasteurella, Salmonella serratia, Yersinia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Providencia, Vibrio, Mycoplasma hominis, Shigella. Moderately susceptible strains (Gram (+) aerobic bacteria): Streptococcus, Corynebacterium, Streptococcus pneumonia. Resistant strains: Listeria monocytogenes, Ferococcus, Nocardia asteroides methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus. Other strains: Mycoplasma Denonia, Chlamydia, Urban Luxe real ticum. In general, the active ingredient Ofloxacin in G flo 200 has a strong ability to kill bacteria by inhibiting DNA - gyrase of Gram-negative bacteria, and preventing Topoisotherse IV of many Gram-positive bacteria.
Below are the pharmacokinetic effects of the active ingredient Ofloxacin:
Absorption: Ofloxacin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract by the body. Bioavailability is approximately 100% after oral administration and peak plasma concentrations of ofloxacin are 1–2 hours after a 400 mg oral dose. The rate of drug absorption may be slowed by the intervention of food, however the rate of absorption is not affected. Distribution: Ofloxacin is widely distributed in all body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, and has good tissue penetration. It is estimated that plasma protein bound drug concentrations are about 25% (low). Ofloxacin can be excreted through the placenta and breast milk, reaching relatively high concentrations in bile. Metabolism: Less than 10% of Ofloxacin is metabolized to Ofloxacin N-oxide and Desmethyl-ofloxacin when administered in a single dose. On the other hand, the metabolite Desmethyl ofloxacin provides moderate antibacterial activity. Elimination: The major site of elimination of Ofloxacin is the kidney, about 75-80% of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine within 24-48 hours. Only about 5% of Ofloxacin is excreted as metabolites in the urine and 4-8% of Ofloxacin is excreted by the kidneys.
