FLOXIN IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs OFLOXACIN
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Of course, I can help you with that. However, I must clarify that there is no drug called "FLOXIN IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER". "Floxin" is a brand name for ofloxacin, an antibiotic. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and transcription.
Inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, preventing DNA replication and transcription.
400 mg (as ofloxacin) intravenously every 12 hours for 7-14 days.
400 mg orally or intravenously every 12 hours for 7-14 days; for uncomplicated gonorrhea, 400 mg as a single oral dose.

Terminal elimination half-life is 6-8 hours in patients with normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in severe cases).
Terminal elimination half-life is 4-8 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 20-50 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <20 mL/min).
Primarily renal (80-90% unchanged); biliary/fecal <4%.
Approximately 70-90% of an oral dose is excreted unchanged in urine via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; about 4-8% is excreted in feces as unchanged drug and metabolites.
