Quinolones

Ciprofloxacin is used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria such as pneumonia; gonorrhea (a sexually transmitted disease); typhoid fever (a serious infection common in developing countries); infectious diarrhea (infections that cause severe diarrhea); and infections of the skin, bones, joints, abdomen (stomach area), and prostate (male reproductive gland). Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat or prevent plague (a serious infection that may be intentionally spread as part of a bioterrorist attack) and inhalation anthrax (a serious infection that anthrax germs may intentionally spread into the air as part of a bioterrorist attack). Ciprofloxacin can also be used to treat bronchitis, sinus infections, or urinary tract infections, but it should not be used for bronchitis or sinus infections, or for some types of urinary tract infections if other treatment options are available. Ciprofloxacin extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used to treat kidney and urinary tract infections; however, some types of urinary tract infections should only be treated with ciprofloxacin extended-release tablets if no other treatment options are available. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin do not work for colds, influenza, or other viral infections. Using antibiotics when not needed increases the risk of getting an infection later that may resist antibiotic treatment.

Levofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics like levofloxacin do not work against colds, influenza, or other viral infections. Mechanism of Action Levofloxacin A fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, levofloxacin acts on the DNA-DNA gyrase complex and topoisomerase IV. Therapeutic Indications Levofloxacin Adults, treatment of: pyelonephritis and complicated urinary tract infections, chronic bacterial prostatitis, uncomplicated cystitis, inhalational anthrax (post-exposure treatment and prophylaxis). Treatment, when recommended antibacterials are inappropriate, of: acute bacterial sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, complicated skin and soft tissue infections.

KENZOFLEX® contains ciprofloxacin, a potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial. KENZOFLEX® is indicated for the treatment of external infections of the eye and/or its adnexa, such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, and corneal ulcers caused by microorganisms susceptible to ciprofloxacin.

Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution is used to treat bacterial infections of the eye, including conjunctivitis (infection of the membrane that covers the outside of the eyeball and the inside of the eyelid) and corneal ulcers (infection and loss of tissue in the clear front part of the eye).

Levofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing the bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics like levofloxacin don't work against colds, the flu, or other viral infections.
