What is Ofloxacin?

Ofloxacin, the active ingredient in Ofloxacine 200 Pch, is a fluoroquinolone presented as oral tablets for systemic use. It treats a range of bacterial infections in adults and children when prescribed by a qualified health professional.

GNH USA supplies Ofloxacine 200 Pch as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ofloxacin used for?

Ofloxacin is a broad‑spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. - Uncomplicated urinary tract infection: eradicates the causative uropathogens and resolves symptoms. - Acute bacterial sinusitis: reduces bacterial load and improves sinus drainage. - Skin and soft‑tissue infections: eliminates common Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms. - Community‑acquired pneumonia: targets typical respiratory pathogens. - Gonorrhea (single‑dose therapy): provides rapid bacterial clearance.

What are the side effects of Ofloxacin?

Adverse reactions may occur with Ofloxacin use.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, occasionally watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional vertiginous sensation. - Photosensitivity: increased skin sensitivity to sunlight. - Rash: mild erythematous skin eruptions.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: sudden pain and loss of function, especially in the Achilles. - QT interval prolongation: risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Central nervous system effects: seizures, confusion, or hallucinations. - Severe allergic reactions: anaphylaxis, angioedema, or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice. - Peripheral neuropathy: tingling or numbness in extremities.

What precautions apply to Ofloxacin?

Before prescribing Ofloxacin, consider patient-specific factors and safety measures. - Renal impairment: adjust dose or monitor renal function. - History of tendon disorders: avoid use in patients with prior tendon injury. - Cardiac risk: caution in patients with known QT prolongation. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if clearly needed, after risk‑benefit assessment. - Concomitant medications: review for potential interactions that may affect cardiac rhythm. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Ofloxacin interact with?

Ofloxacin may interact with other medicines, requiring monitoring or avoidance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: reduce Ofloxacin absorption. - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): increase risk of CNS stimulation. - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, requiring INR monitoring.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Corticosteroids: heightened risk of tendon rupture. - Cyclosporine: may increase serum levels of Ofloxacin. - Theophylline: potential for increased plasma concentrations and toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

What infections is Ofloxacine 200 Pch used to treat?+
Ofloxacine 200 Pch contains ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic indicated for uncomplicated urinary tract infections, acute bacterial sinusitis, skin and soft‑tissue infections, community‑acquired pneumonia, and single‑dose therapy for gonorrhea, when prescribed by a qualified clinician.
How does ofloxacin work against bacterial infections?+
Ofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes required for DNA replication and transcription. This blockade prevents bacterial DNA supercoiling and separation, leading to bacterial cell death and a bactericidal effect against susceptible organisms.
What is the usual dose of Ofloxacine 200 Pch?+
The dosage of Ofloxacine 200 Pch is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the infection type, severity, patient age, weight, and renal function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Ofloxacine 200 Pch safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ofloxacin is classified as pregnancy category C; it should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is excreted in breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician before use.
How do I order Ofloxacine 200 Pch from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Ofloxacine compare with other fluoroquinolones?+
Ofloxacin shares the class‑wide mechanism of DNA gyrase inhibition with other fluoroquinolones but differs in its pharmacokinetic profile, spectrum of activity, and dosing convenience. Compared with ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin often requires fewer daily doses, while maintaining similar efficacy against many Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive pathogens.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Ofloxacine 200 Pch?+
Store Ofloxacine 200 Pch at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original packaging, protect them from moisture, heat and direct sunlight to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.
How is Ofloxacine 200 Pch administered?+
Ofloxacine 200 Pch is administered orally with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but if antacids are needed, they should be spaced at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ofloxacine 200 Pch?+
Serious risks include tendon rupture, especially in the Achilles tendon, QT interval prolongation leading to cardiac arrhythmias, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and central nervous system effects like seizures or confusion.
Who should not use Ofloxacine 200 Pch?+
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to ofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones, those with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use, individuals with prolonged QT interval, and patients receiving concomitant corticosteroids without close monitoring should avoid using Ofloxacine 200 Pch.
