About Prulifloxacin (Pruquin):
Brand name: Prulifloxacin
Generic name: Pruquin
Prulifloxacin has a proven broad and powerful antibacterial action on both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections. Its antibacterial action proved to be highly effective both during the first infective episodes as well as in complicated and chronic infections. Prulifloxacin has a chemical structure that allows its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and can therefore be administered orally.
Its half-life is quite long and the molecule remains in the bloodstream for about 11 hours. This characteristic allows a 600-mg tablet to be administered only once a day for a very convenient dosing.
The active metabolite of prulifloxacin (ulifloxacin) is mostly cleared in an unchanged form through the urinary tract; this allows the drug to be consistently active until its clearance. In clinical trials side effects mostly included gastrointestinal disorders reported by only 4% of patients and almost never requiring the discontinuation of treatment.
“Adequate in males because of its spectrum prulifloxacin is the ideal antibiotic in women: it can eradicate pathogens while respecting the residual population that should be saved in order to prevent relapses and complications in the female gender” (GIMMOC Volume IX Quaderno 2 2005).
Prulifloxacin in conclusion is effective and tolerable in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections while respecting the lactobacillus vaginal microflora reducing the risk of vaginitis (mostly due to Candida albicans) following the antibiotic therapy. Prulifloxacin the prodrug of ulifloxacin is a broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent. After absorption prulifloxacin is metabolised by esterases to ulifloxacin. The drug has a long elimination half-life allowing once-daily administration. A Ulifloxacin is generally more active in vitro than other fluoroquinolones against a variety of clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria including community and nosocomial isolates of Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp. Proteus Providencia and Morganella spp. Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus spp. The activity of ulifloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa varies between countries. A Gram-positive organisms including meticillin- or oxacillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus spp. and Italian community isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are susceptible to ulifloxacin. Activity against Spanish strains of S. pneumoniae is moderate. A In well designed clinical trials good clinical and bacteriological efficacy (similar to that of ciprofloxacin amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or pefloxacin) was seen with prulifloxacin 600mg once daily for 10 days in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis or complicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) and with single-dose prulifloxacin 600mg in acute uncomplicated lower UTIs. A Prulifloxacin was generally well tolerated in clinical trials with a similar tolerability profile to that of ciprofloxacin.

Online Pharmacy MedStore cares about its customers, and they appreciate it. For it not to be a mere assertion we put down a response from one of our clients about Online Pharmacy MedStore servicing. Jackson Prian (46, College Chemistry Tutor): “I've been using the services of Online Pharmacy MedStore for quite a long time — somewhat about 2 years. I'm quite happy I have a chance to save money and time, buying medicine at MedStore. It's important that you don't need to wait until the weekend or morning — when common pharmacies and markets start working. I'm self-reliant when I know I can get a decent servicing and some professional advice so that I can spend time on my family and hobbies, but not on running around the pharmacies in search of the necessary non-prescription medicine. I think, online pharmacies are a great alternative to stationary ones, especially after you visited your local doctor. And if online pharmacies don't replace ordinary ones in future, still they will be a great addition to their services”.
