Clinical Pharmacology
Pharmacodynamics
Antimicrobial, 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative. It has a wide spectrum of action. Selectively inhibits the synthesis of bacterial DNA, forms complexes with metal-containing microbial cell enzymes.
Active in relation to:
Gram positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp. (including Staphylococcus aureus); Streptococcus spp., Including: Beta-hemolytic streptococci; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Enterococcus faecalis; Corynebacterium spp; Bacillus subtilis.
Gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli; Proteus spp; Klebsiella spp; Salmonella spp; Shigella spp; Enterobacter spp; Haemophilus influenzae; Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Other microorganisms: Ureaplasma urealyticum; Mycoplasma hominis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Trichomonas vaginalis.
Some types of mushrooms: candida, dermatophytes, mold fungi, some causative agents of deep mycoses.
Pharmacokinetics
Suction
Nitroxoline is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract (90%). WITHmax in plasma is reached in 1.5-2 hours after ingestion.
Metabolism and excretion
Metabolized in the liver. Excreted mainly by the kidneys unchanged and partially with bile. There is a high concentration of conjugated and unconjugated drug in the urine.
Indications
Treatment of acute, chronic and recurrent urinary tract infections caused by microorganisms sensitive to nitroxoline:
- pyelonephritis;
- cystitis;
- urethritis;
- epididymitis;
- an infected prostate adenoma or carcinoma.
Prevention of infectious complications in the postoperative period:
- in surgical interventions on the kidneys and urinary tract;
- with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures: catheterization, cystoscopy.
Prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections.
