About Prulifloxacin (Pruquin):
Product Type: Anti Bacterial
Brand name: Prulifloxacin
Generic name: Pruquin
Prulifloxacin has a proven broad and powerful antibacterial action on both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections. Its antibacterial action proved to be highly effective both during the first infective episodes as well as in complicated and chronic infections. Prulifloxacin has a chemical structure that allows its absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and can therefore be administered orally.
Its half-life is quite long and the molecule remains in the bloodstream for about 11 hours. This characteristic allows a 600-mg tablet to be administered only once a day for a very convenient dosing.
The active metabolite of prulifloxacin (ulifloxacin) is mostly cleared in an unchanged form through the urinary tract; this allows the drug to be consistently active until its clearance. In clinical trials side effects mostly included gastrointestinal disorders reported by only 4% of patients and almost never requiring the discontinuation of treatment.
“Adequate in males because of its spectrum prulifloxacin is the ideal antibiotic in women: it can eradicate pathogens while respecting the residual population that should be saved in order to prevent relapses and complications in the female gender” (GIMMOC Volume IX Quaderno 2 2005).
Prulifloxacin in conclusion is effective and tolerable in the treatment of respiratory and uro-gynecological infections while respecting the lactobacillus vaginal microflora reducing the risk of vaginitis (mostly due to Candida albicans) following the antibiotic therapy. Prulifloxacin the prodrug of ulifloxacin is a broad-spectrum oral fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent. After absorption prulifloxacin is metabolised by esterases to ulifloxacin. The drug has a long elimination half-life allowing once-daily administration. A Ulifloxacin is generally more active in vitro than other fluoroquinolones against a variety of clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria including community and nosocomial isolates of Escherichia coli Klebsiella spp. Proteus Providencia and Morganella spp. Moraxella catarrhalis and Haemophilus spp. The activity of ulifloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa varies between countries. A Gram-positive organisms including meticillin- or oxacillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus spp. and Italian community isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae are susceptible to ulifloxacin. Activity against Spanish strains of S. pneumoniae is moderate. A In well designed clinical trials good clinical and bacteriological efficacy (similar to that of ciprofloxacin amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or pefloxacin) was seen with prulifloxacin 600mg once daily for 10 days in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis or complicated lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) and with single-dose prulifloxacin 600mg in acute uncomplicated lower UTIs. A Prulifloxacin was generally well tolerated in clinical trials with a similar tolerability profile to that of ciprofloxacin.

Dozens of patents for name-brand drugs are due to expire within the next 14 months, and generic drugs will replace some of the most popular and widely advertised drugs used today. For millions of people worldwide, this means switching from familiar brands like Lipitor to generic equivalents. How will this affect drug companies, and what will be the impact on people who depend on expensive prescription medication? Here, a brief guide:
Which drugs are scheduled to go generic?
Some real blockbusters. "In the next two years, six of the 10 top-selling drugs will lose their patents," says Chris Woolston in the Los Angeles Times. Lipitor, the world's best-selling drug, which is used to lower cholesterol, will be available as a generic in November of this year. Another best-seller, the blood thinner Plavix, will lose its patent in May 2012. Other well-known drugs with expiring patents include the arthritis treatment Enbrel, the anti-psychotic Zyprexa, as well as drugs for bipolar disorder, HIV, high cholesterol, and other conditions.
