    Product Description

    Norfloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (MICs = 4 and 1 μg/ml for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, respectively).1 It also inhibits the growth S. pseudintermedius, S. aureus, E. coli, Pasturella, and S. canis isolates from dogs (mean MIC50s = 0.25, 1, 0.03, 1, and 1 μg/ml, respectively).2 Topical administration of norfloxacin (0.1% v/v) reduces corneal ulcer size in a rabbit model of P. aeruginosa corneal infection. It also prevents encrusted cystitis in bladder and increases survival in a rat model of Corynebacterium group D2 infection when administered at a dose of 80 mg/kg per day.3 Formulations containing norfloxacin have been used to treat urinary tract and gynecological infections.
