Facticin, with the active ingredient Gemifloxacin, is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic designed to combat a variety of bacterial infections. It is particularly effective against respiratory tract infections, including acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (ABECB) and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by susceptible bacteria.
Facticin works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes, DNA gyrase, and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This dual mechanism of action ensures a high efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens.
Key Features:
- Active Ingredient: Gemifloxacin Mesylate
- Dosage Strength: 320 mg tablets
- Mechanism of Action: Inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, halting bacterial growth and proliferation.
- Spectrum of Activity: Effective against common respiratory pathogens, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, as well as atypical organisms like Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae.
Indications:
Facticin is prescribed for the treatment of:
- Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (ABECB)
- Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)
Dosage and Administration:
