What is Ofloxacin?

Ofloxacin, the active ingredient in Ofloxacine Evolugen, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic presented as an oral formulation for systemic use. It is employed to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infection, respiratory tract infection, skin and soft‑tissue infection, prostatitis and gonorrhea in adult patients when indicated.

GNH USA supplies Ofloxacine Evolugen as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier, delivering quality‑assured batches to hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent regulatory standards and supports global procurement processes, ensuring timely delivery.

What is Ofloxacin used for?

Ofloxacine Evolugen (ofloxacin) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in various organ systems.

- Urinary tract infection: eradicates susceptible uropathogens, relieving symptoms and preventing recurrence. - Respiratory tract infection: targets common respiratory bacteria, improving cough, sputum and fever. - Skin and soft tissue infection: combats Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms in cellulitis and wound infections. - Prostatitis: penetrates prostatic tissue to treat chronic bacterial prostatitis. - Gonorrhea: effective against Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains susceptible to fluoroquinolones.

What are the side effects of Ofloxacin?

Like all fluoroquinolones, ofloxacin may cause adverse reactions that vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset that usually resolves without treatment. - Diarrhea: loose stools that are typically transient. - Headache: dull to moderate headache, often relieved by simple analgesics. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headedness or vertigo, generally short‑lived. - Rash: mild skin redness or itching that improves after stopping the drug.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: possible tear of Achilles or other tendons, especially in older patients. - QT prolongation: lengthening of cardiac repolarisation that may lead to arrhythmia. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with hives, swelling and breathing difficulty. - Central nervous system effects: seizures, confusion or psychosis in susceptible individuals.

What precautions apply to Ofloxacin?

When prescribing Ofloxacine Evolugen, clinicians should observe several precautionary measures to minimise risks.

- Renal impairment: assess kidney function and consider dose adjustment or alternative therapy. - Hepatic disease: exercise caution in patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction. - Concomitant QT‑prolonging drugs: avoid combination or monitor ECG for arrhythmia. - History of tendon disorders: contraindicated in patients with previous tendon injury or inflammation. - Pregnancy and lactation: prescribe only when clearly needed, as safety data are limited. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C in original packaging, protect from moisture.

What does Ofloxacin interact with?

Ofloxacin can interact with several medicines, altering its efficacy or increasing toxicity.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: reduce absorption of ofloxacin. - Fluoroquinolone‑specific chelators (e.g., iron supplements): markedly decrease oral bioavailability. - NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, diclofenac): increase risk of central nervous system stimulation and seizures. - Cyclosporine: may raise ofloxacin serum levels leading to toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, requiring INR monitoring. - Theophylline: ofloxacin can increase plasma theophylline concentrations. - Corticosteroids: combined use may raise risk of tendon rupture. - Diabetic agents (e.g., insulin, sulfonylureas): possible hypoglycaemia, monitor blood glucose.

Frequently asked questions

What infections is Ofloxacine Evolugen used to treat?+
Ofloxacine Evolugen contains ofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is indicated for adult patients with urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and soft‑tissue infections, chronic bacterial prostatitis, and gonorrhea caused by susceptible organisms.
How does ofloxacin work against bacteria?+
Ofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication and transcription. By blocking these targets, the drug prevents bacterial DNA synthesis, leading to bacterial cell death.
What is the usual dose of Ofloxacine Evolugen?+
The dosage of Ofloxacine Evolugen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific infection, patient characteristics, renal function and local guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Ofloxacine Evolugen safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for ofloxacin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The drug should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare professional.
How do I order Ofloxacine Evolugen from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with 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 ofloxacin compare with other antibiotics for similar infections?+
Ofloxacin offers broad‑spectrum activity against many Gram‑negative and some Gram‑positive bacteria, often allowing once‑daily oral dosing. Compared with older agents such as ampicillin or trimethoprim‑sulfamethoxazole, it may be more effective against resistant strains, but resistance patterns and safety profiles should guide selection.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Ofloxacine Evolugen?+
Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.
How is Ofloxacine Evolugen administered?+
Ofloxacine Evolugen is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients should avoid concurrent intake of antacids, iron or multivitamin supplements that may interfere with absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with ofloxacin therapy?+
Serious adverse events include tendon rupture (especially Achilles), QT‑interval prolongation leading to arrhythmias, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, and central nervous system effects like seizures or psychosis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if any of these occur.
Who should not use Ofloxacine Evolugen?+
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to ofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones, those with a history of tendon disorders, and individuals taking medications that significantly prolong the QT interval should avoid this product unless no alternatives exist and benefits outweigh risks.
