Physical & Chemical Properties

Physical description & handling notes

• Solid
• Rosoxacin is a nonfluorinated quinolone antibiotic. Its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase, which allows the untwisting required to replicate one DNA double helix into two. Rosoxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is active against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Documented Uses

• For the treatment of bacterial infection of respiratory tract, urinary tract, GI, CNS and immuno compromised patients.
• Substances that prevent infectious agents or organisms from spreading or kill infectious agents in order to prevent the spread of infection.
• J - Antiinfectives for systemic use
• J01 - Antibacterials for systemic use
• J01M - Quinolone antibacterials
• QJ - Antiinfectives for systemic use
