This fluoroquinolone offers broad coverage against many gram-negative bacteria. It’s sometimes prescribed for urinary tract infections, certain gastrointestinal problems like traveler’s diarrhea, and specific respiratory cases.
Because of its potency, guidelines encourage careful use due to potential side effects involving tendons, nerves, or mood changes.
Doctors reserve it for situations where other antibiotics may not be the best fit.
Always take it as directed and stay alert for any unusual joint pain or other changes. This is one where responsible use is especially important.
