FLOXIN IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs ZAGAM
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.
Sparfloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, thereby blocking DNA replication and transcription.
400 mg (as ofloxacin) intravenously every 12 hours for 7-14 days.
600 mg intravenously once daily or 600 mg orally once daily.
