About Prulifloxacin (Pruquin):
Product Type: Anti Bacterial
Brand name: Prulifloxacin
Generic name: Pruquin
Prulifloxacin has a proven broad and powerful antibacterial action on both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections. Its antibacterial action proved to be highly effective both during the first infective episodes as well as in complicated and chronic infections. Prulifloxacin has a chemical structure that allows its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and can therefore be administered orally.
Its half-life is quite long and the molecule remains in the bloodstream for about 11 hours. This characteristic allows a 600-mg tablet to be administered only once a day for a very convenient dosing.
The active metabolite of prulifloxacin (ulifloxacin) is mostly cleared in an unchanged form through the urinary tract; this allows the drug to be consistently active until its clearance. In clinical trials side effects mostly included gastrointestinal disorders reported by only 4% of patients and almost never requiring the discontinuation of treatment.
“Adequate in males because of its spectrum prulifloxacin is the ideal antibiotic in women: it can eradicate pathogens while respecting the residual population that should be saved in order to prevent relapses and complications in the female gender” (GIMMOC Volume IX Quaderno 2 2005).
Prulifloxacin in conclusion is effective and tolerable in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections while respecting the lactobacillus vaginal microflora reducing the risk of vaginitis (mostly due to Candida albicans) following the antibiotic therapy. Prulifloxacin the prodrug of ulifloxacin is a broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent. After absorption prulifloxacin is metabolised by esterases to ulifloxacin. The drug has a long elimination half-life allowing once-daily administration. A Ulifloxacin is generally more active in vitro than other fluoroquinolones against a variety of clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria including community and nosocomial isolates of Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp. Proteus Providencia and Morganella spp. Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus spp. The activity of ulifloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa varies between countries. A Gram-positive organisms including meticillin- or oxacillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus spp. and Italian community isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are susceptible to ulifloxacin. Activity against Spanish strains of S. pneumoniae is moderate. A In well designed clinical trials good clinical and bacteriological efficacy (similar to that of ciprofloxacin amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or pefloxacin) was seen with prulifloxacin 600mg once daily for 10 days in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis or complicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) and with single-dose prulifloxacin 600mg in acute uncomplicated lower UTIs. A Prulifloxacin was generally well tolerated in clinical trials with a similar tolerability profile to that of ciprofloxacin.

From Gulf News: Runners should avoid prescription drugs. Statins may increase production of the enzyme creatine kinase, and hence heighten chances of muscle damage in athletes. Marathon running has increased in popularity over the past three decades, with participation in the United States rising from 25,000 runners in 1976 to nearly 470,000 in 2008. Many professional and recreational runners take prescription drugs, unaware of potential side-effects that affect runners in particular. One such class of drugs, called statins, which includes medicines such as Lipitor, Crestor and Pravachol, lowers blood cholesterol by inhibiting a cholesterol-producing enzyme and may even lower the risks of heart attack and further cardiovascular disease in a narrow category of patients. A new study forthcoming in the American Journal of Cardiology examined the effect of statins on creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme linked to muscle damage. Elevated levels of CK in the blood and muscle after exercise correlates with muscle damage. The study, conducted by Dr Beth Parker of the Henry Low Heart Centre at Connecticut's Hartford Hospital, is the first to measure CK levels in athletes taking statins after physical activity in a real-life environment rather than in a university laboratory.
