Medicine Description quinabiotic 320mg
Quinabiotic 320 mg Tablets is a medication that combines gemifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and metronidazole, an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent. Gemifloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes crucial for bacterial DNA replication and repair, effectively leading to the death of susceptible bacteria. On the other hand, metronidazole functions by penetrating bacterial cells and disrupting their DNA, ultimately resulting in cell death. This dual-action approach enhances the effectiveness of Quinabiotic against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, particularly those causing respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
