Entiflox Tablet 500 mg

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is a synthetic 4-quinolone derivative with bactericidal activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organism. It is active against most gram-negative aerobic bacteria including Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is also active against gram-positive aerobic bacteria including penicillinase producing, non-penicillinase producing and methicillin resistant Staphylococci. However many strains of Streptococci are relatively resistant to the drug. The bactericidal activity of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg results from interference with the enzyme DNA gyrase needed for the synthesis of bacterial DNA. The mode of action of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is different from other antibiotics like penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines and for this reason it is observed that organisms resistant to these antibiotics are susceptible to Entiflox Tablet 500 mg. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is well absorbed from the GIT after oral administration and it is widely distributed into the body tissues and fluid. The half-life of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is 3.5 - 4.5 hours. About 30-50% of an oral dose of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is excreted in the urine within 24 hours as unchanged drug and active metabolites.

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg (Eye/Ear) drops (Entiflox Tablet 500 mg Hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) is a synthetic, sterile, multiple dose, antimicrobial for topical use. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial active against a broad spectrum of gram positive and gram-negative ocular pathogens. It is available as the monohydrochloride monohydrate salt of 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)- 3-quinoline-carboxylic acid. It is a faint to light yellow crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 385.8. Its empirical formula is C17H18FN3O3.HCl.H2O.

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is a second generation fluoroquinolone that is active against many Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. It produces its action through inhibition of bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg binds to bacterial DNA gyrase with 100 times the affinity of mammalian DNA gyrase. There is no cross resistance between fluoroquinolones and other classes of antibiotics, so it may be of clinical value when other antibiotics are no longer effective. Ciprofloxain and its derivatives are also being investigated for its action against malaria, cancers, and AIDS.

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

Reproduction studies performed in rats and rabbits using parenteral and oral administration did not reveal any evidence of teratogenicity, impairment of fertility or impairment of pre or postnatal development. However, as with other quinolones, Entiflox Tablet 500 mg has been shown to cause arthropathy in immature animals and therefore, its use during pregnancy is not recommended. Studies in rats have indicated that Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is secreted in milk, administration to nursing mothers is thus not recommended.

Eye

Corneal Ulcers: The recommended dosage regimen for the treatment of corneal ulcers is 2 drops into the affected eye every 15 minutes for the first 6 hours and then 2 drops into the affected eye every 30 minutes for the remainder of the first day. On the second day, instill 2 drops in the affected eye hourly. On the third through the fourteenth day, place 2 drops in the affected eye every four hours. Treatment may be continued after 14 days if corneal re-epithelialization has not occurred.

Conjunctivitis: The recommended dosage regimen for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis is 1 or 2 drops instilled into the conjunctival sac(s) every 2 hours while awake for 2 days and one or 2 drops every 4 hours while awake for the next 5 days.

Ear

For all infections, 2-3 drops every 2-3 hours initially, reducing the frequency of the instillation with control of infection. Treatment should be continued at least 7 days.

Information for patients: Should be swallowed whole with an adequate amount of liquid, it may be taken with or without meals. The preferred time of dosing is two hours after a meal and patients should not take antacid within two hours of dosing.

Directions for use of granules for suspension

Whole contents of the packet should be taken into a small glass containing 2-3 teaspoonful of water. Other liquids or foods should not be used. The mixer should be stirred well and drink immediately. The glass should be refilled with water and drink.

Direction for reconstitution of suspension (60 ml)

Shake the bottle well to loosen the granules. Add 50 ml (with the help of supplied measuring cup) of boiled cool water to the dry granules in the bottle. Shake the bottle vigorously until all the granules is in suspension.

Side Effects

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is generally well tolerated. Frequent adverse reactions are- Gastrointestinal disturbance: e.g. nausea diarrhea, vomiting, dyspepsia, abdominal pain. Disturbance of the CNS: e.g. dizziness, headache, tiredness, confusion, convulsions. Hypersensitivity reactions: e.g. skin rashes, pruritus, and possible systemic reactions. Other possible side effects are - joint pain, light sensitivity, transient increase in liver enzyme (especially in patients with history of liver damage), serum bilirubin, urea or serum creatinine. Arthralgia and myalgia may also occur.

The most frequently reported drug related adverse reaction is local burning or discomfort. In corneal ulcer studies with frequent administration of the drug, white crystalline precipitates were seen in approximately 17% of patients. Other reactions occurring in less than 10% of patients included lid margin crusting, crystals/scales, foreign body sensation, itching, conjunctival hyperemia and a bad taste following instillation. Additional events occurring in less than 1% of patients included corneal staining, keratopathy/keratitis, allergic reactions, lid edema, tearing, photophobia, corneal infiltrates, nausea and decreased vision.

Toxicity

Patients experiencing an overdose may present with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, crystalluria, nephrotoxicity, and oliguria. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg overdose typically leads to acute renal failure. An overdose may progress over the next 6 days with rising serum creatinine and BUN, as well as anuria. Patients may require prednisone therapy, urgent hemodialysis, or supportive therapy. Depending on the degree of overdose, patients may recover normal kidney function or progress to chronic kidney failure.

The oral LD50 in rats is >2000mg/kg.

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg for intratympanic injection or otic use has low systemic absorption and so it unlikely to be a risk in pregnancy or lactation. There is generally no harm to the fetus in animal studies, however high doses may lead to gastrointestinal disturbances in the mother which may increase the incidence of abortion. In human studies there was no increase in fetal malformations above background rates. The risk and benefit of ciprofloxacin should be weighed in pregnancy and breast feeding.

2/8 in vitro tests and 0/3 in vivo tests of mutagenicity of ciprofloxacin have yielded a positive result.

Oral doses of 200 and 300 times the maximum recommended clinical dose in rats and mice have shown no carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity.

Oral doses above the maximum recommended clinical dose have shown no effects on fertility in rats.

Precaution

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg should be used with caution in patients with a history of convulsive disorders. Crystalluria related to the use of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg has been observed only rarely. Patients receiving Entiflox Tablet 500 mg should be well hydrated to avoid excessive alkalinity of the urine.

Beuflox Injection should only be administered by slow intravenous infusion over a period of 60 minutes. Local IV site reactions have been reported with the intravenous administration of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg. These reactions are more frequent if infusion time is 30 minutes or less or if small vein of the hand are used.

Interaction

Increased plasma levels of theophylline have been observed following concurrent administration with Entiflox Tablet 500 mg. Entiflox Tablet 500 mg suspension should not be administered within 4 hours of medications containing magnesium, aluminium, calcium or iron salts as interference with absorption may occur.

Food Interaction

  • Avoid milk and dairy products. Dairy products and calcium fortified juices decrease the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
  • Limit caffeine intake.
  • Take with or without food. The absorption is not significantly affected by food.

[Moderate] ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Concurrent ingestion of dairy products (milk, yogurt) or calcium-fortified foods (i.e., cereal, orange juice) may decrease the activity of certain oral fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

The mechanism is chelation of calcium and the quinolone, resulting in decreased bioavailability.

In the case of orange juice, inhibition of intestinal transport mechanisms (P-glycoprotein or organic anion-transporting polypeptides) by flavones may also be involved.

One study reported an average 41% decrease in maximum plasma concentrations and a 38% decrease in AUC when ciprofloxacin was given with calcium-fortified orange juice instead of water.

Administration of ciprofloxacin tablets with enteral nutrition may reduce its bioavailability and maximum serum concentrations.

Data have been conflicting and variable by the type of enteral nutrition product, location of the feeding tube, and patient characteristics.

Decreased absorption is expected if ciprofloxacin is given by jejunostomy tube.



MANAGEMENT: Oral ciprofloxacin should not be taken with dairy products or calcium-fortified foods alone, but may be taken with meals that contain these products.

When taken alone, dairy products or calcium-fortified foods should be ingested at least 2 hours before or after ciprofloxacin administration.

When ciprofloxacin tablets are administered to patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition, some experts recommend that the tube feeding should be interrupted for at least 1 hour before and 2 hours after the dose of ciprofloxacin is given.

Patients should be monitored for altered antimicrobial efficacy and switched to intravenous ciprofloxacin if necessary.

If no enteral route besides a jejunostomy tube is available, it is also recommended to switch to intravenous ciprofloxacin.

According to the manufacturer, ciprofloxacin oral suspension should not be administered via nasogastric or feeding tubes due to its physical characteristics.

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg multivitamins interaction

[Moderate] ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Oral preparations that contain magnesium, aluminum, or calcium may significantly decrease the gastrointestinal absorption of quinolone antibiotics.

Absorption may also be reduced by sucralfate, which contains aluminum, as well as other polyvalent cations such as iron and zinc.

The mechanism is chelation of quinolones by polyvalent cations, forming a complex that is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

The bioavailability of ciprofloxacin has been reported to decrease by as much as 90% when administered with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium hydroxide.

When coadministration cannot be avoided, quinolone antibiotics should be dosed either 2 to 4 hours before or 4 to 6 hours after polyvalent cation-containing products to minimize the potential for interaction.

When coadministered with Suprep Bowel Prep (magnesium

Please consult individual product labeling for specific recommendations.

Volume of Distribution

Cirpofloxacin follws a 3 compartment distribution model with a central compartment volume of 0.161L/kg and a total volume of distribution of 2.00-3.04L/kg.

Elimination Route

A 250mg oral dose of ciprofloxacin reaches an average maximum concentration of 0.94mg/L in 0.81 hours with an average area under the curve of 1.013L/h*kg. The FDA reports an oral bioavailability of 70-80% while other studies report it to be approximately 60%. An early review of ciprofloxacin reported an oral bioavailability of 64-85% but recommends 70% for all practical uses.

Half Life

The average half life following a 250mg oral dose was 4.71 hours and 3.65 hours following a 100mg intravenous dose. Generally the half life is reported as 4 hours.

Clearance

The average renal clearance after a 250mg oral dose is 5.08mL/min*kg. Following a 100mg intravenous dose, the average total clearance is 9.62mL/min*kg, average renal clearance is 4.42mL/min*kg, and average non renal clearance is 5.21mL/min*kg.

Elimination Route

27% of an oral dose was recovered unmetabolized in urine compared to 46% of an intravenous dose. Collection of radiolabelled ciprofloxacin resulted in 45% recovery in urine and 62% recovery in feces.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Reproduction studies performed in rats and rabbits using parenteral and oral administration did not reveal any evidence of teratogenicity, impairment of fertility or impairment of pre or postnatal development. However, as with other quinolones, Entiflox Tablet 500 mg has been shown to cause arthropathy in immature animals and therefore, its use during pregnancy is not recommended. Studies in rats have indicated that Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is secreted in milk, administration to nursing mothers is thus not recommended.

Contraindication

Entiflox Tablet 500 mg is contra-indicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to Entiflox Tablet 500 mg or other quinolones.

Acute Overdose

In case of acute overdose, the patient should be carefully observed and given supporative treatment, including monitoring of renal function. Adequate hydration must be maintained.

Interaction with other Medicine

Concurrent administration of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg with theophylline may lead to elevated plasma concentrations of theophylline. Plasma level of theophylline should be monitored and dosage adjustments made as appropriate. Antacid containing magnesium hydroxide or aluminium hydroxide may interfere with the absorption of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg & concurrent administration of these agents with Entiflox Tablet 500 mg should be avoided. Probenecid interferes with renal tubular secretion of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg and produces an increase in the level of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg in the serum. As with other broad spectrum antibiotics prolonged use of Entiflox Tablet 500 mg may result in over growth of non-susceptible organisms. Repeated evaluation of patient's conditions and microbial susceptibility testing is essential. If superinfections occur during therapy, appropriate measure should be taken.

Storage Condition

Store in a cool dry place protected from light. Keep out of reach of children.
