Bacterial Infections: Fleroxacin is effective against a wide range of bacterial pathogens, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It can be used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, gastrointestinal infections, and sexually transmitted infections.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Fleroxacin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Respiratory Tract Infections: Fleroxacin may be used to treat respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia caused by susceptible bacteria.
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Fleroxacin can be effective in treating skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections, when caused by susceptible bacteria.
Gastrointestinal Infections: Fleroxacin may be prescribed for gastrointestinal infections, such as traveler's diarrhea or infectious diarrhea, caused by susceptible bacteria.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Fleroxacin may be used to treat certain sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea, when caused by susceptible bacteria.
Antibiotic Resistance: Like other antibiotics, the use of fleroxacin can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. It is essential to use fleroxacin judiciously and only when necessary to minimize the risk of resistance.
Adverse Effects: Fleroxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, can cause various adverse effects, including gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), central nervous system effects (headache, dizziness, insomnia), and musculoskeletal effects (tendonitis, tendon rupture). Rare but serious adverse effects include peripheral neuropathy, hypersensitivity reactions, and QT interval prolongation leading to cardiac arrhythmias.
Drug Interactions: Fleroxacin may interact with other medications, including antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, sucralfate, iron supplements, and certain anticoagulants, potentially reducing its absorption or effectiveness.
Pregnancy and Lactation: Fleroxacin is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the potential risk of adverse effects on the developing fetus or infant.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
