  2. Respiratory Tract Infections: Rufloxacin may also be used to treat respiratory tract infections, including acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia caused by susceptible pathogens.

  3. Gastrointestinal Infections: In some cases, rufloxacin may be prescribed to treat gastrointestinal infections caused by susceptible bacteria. This includes bacterial gastroenteritis and traveler's diarrhea.

  4. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Rufloxacin may be effective in treating certain skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as cellulitis and wound infections.

  5. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Rufloxacin may be used in the treatment of certain sexually transmitted infections caused by susceptible bacteria, such as gonorrhea. However, due to increasing bacterial resistance, it may not be the preferred treatment option in some cases.

  6. Prostatitis: Rufloxacin may be prescribed to treat acute bacterial prostatitis, a bacterial infection of the prostate gland. It can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms such as pelvic pain and urinary symptoms.

  7. Side Effects: Common side effects of rufloxacin may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Other potential side effects include headache, dizziness, insomnia, and skin rash. Rare but serious side effects may include tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and allergic reactions.

Impacted of rufloxacin (antibiotic) On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by rufloxacin (antibiotic)

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.

Impact of rufloxacin (antibiotic) on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

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   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
