About Prulifloxacin (Pruquin):
Product Type: Anti Bacterial
Brand name: Prulifloxacin
Generic name: Pruquin Prulifloxacin has a proven broad and powerful
antibacterial action on both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria
in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections.
Its antibacterial action proved to be highly effective both during
the first infective episodes as well as in complicated and chronic
infections. Prulifloxacin has a chemical structure that allows its
absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and can therefore be
administered orally. Its half-life is quite long and the molecule
remains in the bloodstream for about 11 hours. This characteristic
allows a 600-mg tablet to be administered only once a day for a
very convenient dosing. The active metabolite of prulifloxacin (ulifloxacin)
is mostly cleared in an unchanged form through the urinary tract;
this allows the drug to be consistently active until its clearance.
In clinical trials side effects mostly included gastrointestinal
disorders reported by only 4% of patients and almost never requiring
the discontinuation of treatment. “Adequate in males because of
its spectrum prulifloxacin is the ideal antibiotic in women: it
can eradicate pathogens while respecting the residual population
that should be saved in order to prevent relapses and complications
in the female gender” (GIMMOC Volume IX Quaderno 2 2005). Prulifloxacin
in conclusion is effective and tolerable in the treatment of respiratory
and uro-gynecological infections while respecting the lactobacillus
vaginal microflora reducing the risk of vaginitis (mostly due to
Candida albicans) following the antibiotic therapy. Prulifloxacin
the prodrug of ulifloxacin is a broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone
antibacterial agent. After absorption prulifloxacin is metabolised
by esterases to ulifloxacin. The drug has a long elimination half-life
allowing once-daily administration. A Ulifloxacin is generally more
active in vitro than other fluoroquinolones against a variety of
clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria including community
and nosocomial isolates of Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp. Proteus
Providencia and Morganella spp. Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus
spp. The activity of ulifloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
varies between countries. A Gram-positive organisms including meticillin-
or oxacillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus spp.
and Italian community isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are susceptible
to ulifloxacin. Activity against Spanish strains of S. pneumoniae
is moderate. A In well designed clinical trials good clinical and
bacteriological efficacy (similar to that of ciprofloxacin amoxicillin/clavulanic
acid or pefloxacin) was seen with prulifloxacin 600mg once daily
for 10 days in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
or complicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) and with single-dose
prulifloxacin 600mg in acute uncomplicated lower UTIs. A Prulifloxacin
was generally well tolerated in clinical trials with a similar tolerability
profile to that of ciprofloxacin.
