Rufloxacin (MF-934) is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial drug. It acts as a DNA gyrase inhibitor. Rufloxacin shows in vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Proteus and Staphylococcus spp. Lower in vitro activity was observed with Pseudomonas, Serratia, Enterobacter and the streptococci group D. Rufloxacin is indicated for the treatment of lower respiratory tract and urinary tract infections caused by germs sensitive to rufloxacin.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

The recommended dosage is 2 Tebraxin tablets (rufloxacin hydrochloride 150 or 200 mg) taken together the first day and one tablet per day in the following days. The duration of the treatment must be adapted to the severity of the case as well as to the clinical and bacteriological course; generally, 5 to 10 days of therapy are sufficient.
