Prulifloxacin is a prodrug of ulifloxacin which has been approved in Italy, Japan, China, India and Greece, for treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria, in the following conditions: acute uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections (simple cystitis); complicated lower urinary tract infections; acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis; gastroenteritis, including infectious diarrheas. Like other fluoroquinolones, prulifloxacin prevents bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination through inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase.

Sample Use Guides
One 600 mg tablet is sufficient. For patients with complicated lower urinary tract infections or acute exacerbation of bronchitis - one 600 mg tablet once daily for up to a maximum of 10 days of treatment
Route of Administration:
Oral
Ulifloxacin was highly active against many Enterobacteriaceae, including Italian community or nosocomial isolates including Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Spanish clinical isolates of E. coli (with activity against some nalidixic acid-resistant isolates) and Klebsiella spp. (MIC90 ≤0.015–4.0 mg/L). Ulifloxacin showed good activity against Spanish clinical isolates of ciprofloxacin-susceptible P. aeruginosa (MIC90 1.0 mg/L) and gentamicin resistant P. aeruginosa (MIC90 0.2 mg/L).
