Pharmacokinetics: SOLUTION FOR INFUSION, COIL-COATED TABLETS Absorption after oral administration is rapid and complete (95%). Bioavailability - over 96%, binding to plasma proteins - 25%, TCmax after oral administration - 1-2 hours, Cmax after administration at a dose of 100, 300 and 600 mg is 1, 3, 4 and 6.9 mg/l, respectively, and depends on dose: after a single dose of 200 and 400 mg, it is 2.5 and 5 mcg/ml, respectively. Food may slow absorption but does not significantly affect bioavailability. The apparent volume of distribution is 100 l. Distribution: cells (leukocytes, alveolar macrophages), skin, soft tissues, bones, abdominal and pelvic organs, respiratory system, urine, saliva, bile, prostate secretion, penetrates well through the blood-brain barrier, placental barrier, secreted into breast milk. Penetrates into the CSF (14-60%). Metabolized in the liver (about 5%) to form N-oxide ofloxacin and dimethylofloxacin. T1/2 - 4.5-7 hours (regardless of dose). Excreted by the kidneys - 75-90% (unchanged), about 4% - with bile. Extrarenal clearance is less than 20%. After a single dose of 200 mg, it is detected in the urine within 20-24 hours. In case of renal/liver failure, excretion may slow down. Does not accumulate. Hemodialysis removes 10-30% of the drug.

The tablets are taken whole with water, before or during meals. The duration of treatment is determined by the sensitivity of the pathogen and the clinical picture; treatment should be continued for at least another 3 days after the symptoms of the disease disappear and body temperature completely normalizes. When treating salmonellosis, the course of treatment is 7-8 days; for uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections, the course of treatment is 3-5 days.

EYE DROPS, EYE AND EAR DROPS, EYE OINTMENT Allergic reactions. Eye drops (optional): burning sensation and discomfort in the eyes, hyperemia, itching and dryness of the conjunctiva, photophobia, lacrimation. After instillation into the ear canal (additionally): itching in the ear canal area, a feeling of bitter taste in the mouth, rarely - eczema, dizziness, tinnitus, ear pain, dry mouth. Interaction: SOLUTION FOR INFUSION, COIL-COATED TABLETS Reduces the clearance of theophylline by 25% (with simultaneous use, the dose of theophylline should be reduced). Increases the concentration of glibenclamide in plasma. Cimetidine, furosemide, methotrexate and drugs that block tubular secretion increase the concentration of ofloxacin in plasma. When taken simultaneously with vitamin K antagonists, it is necessary to monitor the blood coagulation system. When prescribed with NSAIDs, nitroimidazole derivatives and methylxanthines, the risk of developing neurotoxic effects increases. When administered simultaneously with GCS, the risk of tendon rupture increases, especially in older people. When prescribed with drugs that alkalinize urine (carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, citrates, sodium bicarbonate), the risk of crystalluria and nephrotoxic effects increases. Compatible with the following infusion solutions: 0.9% NaCl solution, Ringer's solution, 5% fructose solution, 5% dextrose solution. Do not mix with heparin (risk of precipitation). Food products, antacids containing Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+ or Fe salts reduce the absorption of ofloxacin, forming insoluble complexes (the time interval between the administration of these drugs should be at least 2 hours). Special instructions: SOLUTION FOR INFUSION, COIL-COATED TABLETS It is not the drug of choice for pneumonia caused by pneumococci. Not indicated for the treatment of acute tonsillitis. It is not recommended to use for more than 2 months, to be exposed to sunlight, exposure to UV rays (mercury-quartz lamps, solarium). In case of side effects from the central nervous system, allergic reactions, pseudomembranous colitis, discontinuation of the drug is necessary. For pseudomembranous colitis confirmed by colonoscopy and/or histology, oral administration of vancomycin and metronidazole is indicated. Rarely, tendinitis can lead to tendon rupture (mostly the Achilles tendon), especially in older patients. If signs of tendinitis occur, you should immediately stop treatment, immobilize the Achilles tendon and consult an orthopedist. During the treatment period, ethanol should not be consumed. When using the drug, women are not recommended to use sanitary tampons due to the increased risk of developing thrush. During treatment, the course of myasthenia gravis may worsen and attacks of porphyria may increase in predisposed patients. May lead to false negative results in the bacteriological diagnosis of tuberculosis (prevents the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis). In patients with impaired liver or kidney function, monitoring of plasma concentrations of ofloxacin is necessary. In case of severe renal and hepatic insufficiency, the risk of developing toxic effects increases (reducing dose adjustment is required). During the treatment period, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

With caution: Atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels, cerebrovascular accidents (history), chronic renal failure, organic lesions of the central nervous system.

EYE DROPS, EYE AND EAR DROPS, EYE OINTMENT Should not be administered subconjunctivally or into the anterior chamber of the eye. You should wear sunglasses (due to the possible development of photophobia) and avoid prolonged exposure to bright light. Immediately after using eye drops or ointments, blurred visual perception is possible, which can lead to difficulties when driving a car and when working with machinery; it is recommended to start working (driving) 15 minutes after using the drug. Soft contact lenses should not be worn during treatment with the drug; hard contact lenses are removed before instillation and reinserted 20 minutes after instillation. The combined use of eye drops and eye ointment is possible, with the ointment being used last.
