    J.01.M.A   Fluoroquinolones

    J.01.M.A.07   Lomefloxacin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Lomefloxacin is a synthetic antimicrobial agent of the fluoroquinolone group of a broad spectrum of bactericidal action. Inhibits the activity of bacterial DNA-gyrase, forming a complex with its tetramer (subunit of A2B2 gyrase) and disrupts transcription and replication of DNA, leads to the death of a microbial cell. Beta-lactamases, produced by pathogens, do not affect the activity of lomefloxacin.

    It is active against gram-negative aerobic microorganisms: Citrobacter diversus, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (only for urinary tract infections); Gram-positive aerobic microorganisms: Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

    In vitro with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 μg / ml is active against the following microorganisms (however, the clinical efficacy in infections caused by these microorganisms in strictly controlled studies has not been studied): Gram-positive aerobic microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis (including methicillin-resistant strains); Gram-negative aerobic microorganisms: Aeromonas hydrophila, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterobacter agglomerans, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella ozaenae, Morganella morganii, Proteus vulgaris, Providencia alcalifaciens, Providencia rettgeri, Serratia liquefaciens, Serratia marcescens.

    Other microorganisms: Legionella pneumophila.

    The drug is stable: Streptococcus spp. groups A, AT, D and G, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas cepacia, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis and anaerobic bacteria.

    It acts both on the outside and on the intracellularly located Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reduces the time of their isolation from the body, provides a faster resolution of infiltrates. Most microorganisms act at low concentrations (the concentration necessary to suppress the growth of 90% strains, usually not more than 1 μg / ml).

    Pharmacokinetics:

    After oral administration lomefloxacin almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (absorption - 93-98%, food intake reduces it by 12%). After taking 400 mg, the maximum concentration (Cmax) in blood plasma "Achieved through-1-2 hours and is-3-5.2-mg / l. Eating reduces Cmax on 18%. The equilibrium concentration in plasma is determined after 48 hours. The connection with plasma proteins is 9-11%. It penetrates well into the organs and tissues (respiratory tract, ENT organs, soft tissues, bones, joints, abdominal cavity organs, pelvis, genitalia), where the concentration of lomefloxacin is 2-7 times higher than in plasma. A small part of the drug is metabolized, with the formation of metabolites.The half-life (T1/2) - 8-9 hours; the average renal clearance is 143-147 ml / min. In elderly patients, plasma clearance is reduced by 25%. With a decrease in the clearance of creatinine to 10-40 ml / min / 1.73 square. m T1/2 increases. By the kidneys, 70-80% of the tubular secretion is excreted (mostly unchanged, 9% - in the form of glucuronides, 0.5% - in the form of other metabolites); through the intestine-20-30%.

    Indications:

    Uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis or Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

    Complicated urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Citrobacter diversus or Enterobacter cloacae.

    Exacerbation of chronic bronchitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae or Moraxella catarrhalis.

    Tuberculosis of lungs (as part of complex therapy): extensive caseous-non-necrotic tissue damage, expressed nonspecific component of inflammation, drug resistance of mycobacteria to rifampicin, or poor tolerance of rifampicin.

    Contraindications:

    Hypersensitivity (including to other fluoroquinolones), pregnancy, lactation,age to 18 years (period of formation and growth of the skeleton), lactase deficiency, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption.

    Carefully:

    Dosing and Administration:

    Inside (regardless of food intake, squeezed a sufficient amount of liquid), 1 time per day.

    The dose and duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease and the sensitivity of the pathogen.

    Exacerbation of chronic bronchitis: 400 mg / day for 14 days.

    Prevention of urinary tract infections: with a transrectal biopsy of the prostate - 400 mg once for 1-6 hours before the procedure; transurethral surgery - 400 mg once per day 2-6 hours before surgical intervention.

    Tuberculosis: 400 mg / day, for 14-28 days or more.

    With a creatinine clearance of less than 30 ml / min and a patient on hemodialysis, the initial dose is 400 mg / day, followed by a decrease to 200 mg / day.
