XORITAS 500MG TAB 1*4

About

XORITAS 500MG TAB is an oral antibiotic, likely a fluoroquinolone or a similar broad-spectrum agent, indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections. It exerts its bactericidal action by interfering with bacterial DNA replication and repair mechanisms, specifically by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This disruption prevents bacteria from multiplying and ultimately leads to their death, making it effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens.

The 500mg dosage is commonly used for treating moderate to severe infections, offering good oral bioavailability and tissue penetration. XORITAS is typically prescribed for infections where other antibiotics may be less effective or where a broad-spectrum approach is required. Its use should be guided by susceptibility testing to ensure appropriate therapy and minimize the development of antibiotic resistance. Patients should complete the full course of treatment to ensure eradication of the infection.
