What is Norfloxacin used for?
Norfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial indicated for infections of specific organ systems. - Urinary tract infections: effective in eradicating susceptible Gram‑negative and some Gram‑positive bacteria, relieving symptoms and preventing recurrence. - Prostatitis: achieves bacterial clearance in the prostate tissue, reducing inflammation and clinical signs. - Gastrointestinal infections: treats susceptible enteric pathogens, aiding resolution of diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort.
What are the side effects of Norfloxacin?
Norfloxacin may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.
Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset often transient. - Diarrhoea: loose stools that may be self‑limiting. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin erythema or itching.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: sudden pain or swelling, especially in the Achilles. - Peripheral neuropathy: tingling, numbness or burning sensations. - QT prolongation: cardiac rhythm changes detectable on ECG. - Severe allergic reactions: anaphylaxis, angioedema, or bronchospasm. - Clostridioides difficile colitis: persistent diarrhoea with abdominal pain.
What precautions apply to Norfloxacin?
Before prescribing norfloxacin, clinicians should consider several safety and handling precautions. - Renal impairment: adjust therapy or monitor renal function closely. - History of tendon disorders: avoid use in patients with prior tendon injury. - Concomitant QT‑prolonging drugs: assess risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh potential risks. - Age >65 years: increased susceptibility to CNS effects; monitor closely. - Store at below 25°C: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.
