Nadifloxacin

Is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.

Nadifloxacin is used to treat bacterial infections in various parts of the body, including:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

Respiratory infections (e.g., pneumonia)

Skin and soft tissue infections

Eye infections (in the form of eye drops)

Nadoxin Oint 5gm (Nadifloxacin) works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair.

Store Nadifloxacin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The dosage of Nadifloxacin will vary depending on the type of infection being treated, the patient's age and weight, and other factors.

It is usually taken by mouth, but can also be administered intravenously (through a vein) or topically (as eye drops).

Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and do not take more or less than prescribed.
