Sparfloxacin

Indications

Sparfloxacin is indicated for the treatment of the following infections due to susceptible microorganisms:

  • Upper and lower respiratory tract infections including sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community and hospital acquired pneumonia.
  • Urinary tract infections including gonococcal and non-gonococcal urethritis, chancroid and other sexually transmitted diseases.
  • Skin and soft tissue infections.

Pharmacology

Sparfloxacin is a synthetic, broad-spectrum antibacterial agent from the difluoroquinolone family. It has been reported to be more active in vitro than ciprofloxacin against some organisms, including staphylococci and Mycobacteria, and has a much longer plasma half-life (16 hours).

Sparfloxacin inhibits the supercoiling activity of DNA gyrase which is an enzyme essential for DNA replication thus promoting the breakage of DNA structures. It has activity against S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, H. influenzae, K. pneumoniae, M. catarrhalis and Mycobacterium spp.

 

Dosage

In patients with normal renal function the recommended daily dose is two tablets of Sparfloxacin 200 mg on first day as a loading dose, thereafter take one tablet of Sparfloxacin 200 mg every 24 hours for a total of 10 days of therapy.

The recommended daily dose of Sparfloxacin in patients with renal impairment (Creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min) is two tablets of 200 mg taken on the first day as a loading dose. Thereafter, should be taken one tablet of 200 mg every 48 hours for total of 9 days of therapy.
