D-Floxin®
Ciprofloxacin
D-Floxin is an oral formulation of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with broad antibacterial coverage, particularly against many clinically important Gram-negative organisms. It acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, producing a rapid bactericidal effect. Ciprofloxacin is absorbed after oral dosing, distributes into tissues, and is cleared largely through renal excretion, with meaningful urinary recovery of unchanged drug.
