Uses
NORFLOXACIN (norfloxacin tablets) is indicated for: The treatment of upper and lower urinary tract infections, specifically complicated and uncomplicated cystitis, pyelitis and pyelonephritis caused by susceptible strains of the following microorganisms: Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumonia unspecified Klebsiella spp.
unspecified Enterobacter spp. unspecified Citrobacter spp. Proteus mirabilis Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus faecalis Pseudomonas aeruginosa The treatment of adults with gonococcal urethritis, or cervicitis due to penicillinase producing and non-penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of NORFLOXACIN and other antibacterial drugs, NORFLOXACIN should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
