Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.medicineindia.org/pharmacology-for-generic/2923/balofloxacin http://www.ajptr.com/archive/volume-2/february-2012-issue-1/article-92.html

Balofloxacin (Q-35), is an orally active fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It has been developed for the treatment of urinary tract infection. The bactericidal action of Balofloxacin results from interference with the enqyme DNA gyrase which is needed for the synthesis of bacterial DNA. Balofloxacin is efficacious against Gram-negative bacteria. It also has enhanced activity against Gram positive bacteria, including MRSA and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Side effects of Balofloxacin are: sensitivity to light, abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, urticarial, irritation when applied locally. Balofloxacin may interact with the following medicines and salts: antacids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, quinolones, theophylline.
