NORFLOXACIN CAPSULES INDICATIONS

Norfloxacin is indicated for the treatment of complicated and uncomplicated upper and lower urinary tract infections including cystitis, pyelitis, cystopyelitis and pyelonephritis caused by bacteria susceptible to Norfloxacin. In the treatment of infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an aminoglycoside must be administered concomitantly.

NORFLOXACIN CAPSULES  CONTRAINDICATION

Norfloxacin is contra-indicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients or any chemically related quinolone antibacterials. The product should not be used in patients with a creatinine clearance of less than 30 mL per minute. Norfloxacin should not be used in children and adolescents up to the age of 18 because fluoroquinolones caused lameness in immature dogs due to permanent lesions of the cartilage of weight bearing joints. This medication and other related quinolones have been reported to cause arthropathy in immature animals of various species. The safe use of Norfloxacin in pregnant women has not been established and should therefore not be used in pregnancy. The safety in breast feeding has not been established.
