High-quality reference materials for precise residue analysis of Ofloxacin.
Overview
Ofloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
Uses
Ofloxacin is used to treat infections such as pneumonia, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, plague, and certain types of infectious diarrhea. It is also used in combination with other medications to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Additionally, it is used as eye and ear drops for superficial bacterial infections.
Regulatory
Ofloxacin is approved for medical use and is available as a generic medication. It is included in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. The legal status varies by region, with prescription-only status in the US.
Monitoring
Regular monitoring of serum glucose is advised when ofloxacin is used by people taking sulfonylurea antidiabetes drugs. Careful observation is required for patients with liver disease or those taking corticosteroids due to the increased risk of adverse effects.
Health Impact
Ofloxacin is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and rash. Serious adverse effects include tendon rupture, nerve damage, seizures, and psychosis. It is contraindicated during pregnancy and in pediatric populations due to the risk of musculoskeletal injury.
Environmental Impact
Ofloxacin can affect wildlife, particularly aquatic organisms, due to its persistence and bioaccumulation potential. Proper disposal and environmental monitoring are essential to mitigate its impact.
Safety Measures
Patients should be informed about the potential side effects and advised to avoid activities requiring mental alertness if they experience dizziness or other central nervous system effects. Avoid concomitant use with corticosteroids to reduce the risk of tendon damage.
Regulation
Ofloxacin is regulated by various health authorities worldwide. In the US, it carries black box warnings for tendon problems and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis symptoms. It is essential to follow regional guidelines and regulations for its use and disposal.
