Gatifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and urinary tract infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are essential for bacterial DNA replication.
The medication is available in tablet form or as an ophthalmic solution, depending on the type of infection. Gatifloxacin is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and insomnia. In rare cases, severe side effects such as tendinopathy or QT interval prolongation may occur.
Gatifloxacin is an effective option for treating bacterial infections, but its use should be carefully monitored to prevent bacterial resistance.
