Description
Usage
Gyrex is primarily used to treat a variety of ocular infections such as acute and sub-acute conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, corneal ulcers, and pre-operative prophylaxis in ocular surgery. Additionally, it is used for external ear infections (otitis externa) and certain middle ear infections (otitis media).
Gyrex is also used in oral or injection form to treat mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains. This medication is effective in treating lower respiratory tract infections such as acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung abscess. It is also useful in treating gastrointestinal tract infections such as enteric fever and shigellosis. Furthermore, it can be used in the treatment of multi-drug-resistant Tuberculosis.
Mechanism of Action
The bactericidal effect of Gyrex is primarily attributed to its ability to inhibit DNA gyrase, which is an essential enzyme critical for the replication, transcription, and repair of bacterial DNA. Gyrex also acts on topoisomerase IV, enzymes that prevent excessive supercoiling of DNA during replication or transcription. By inhibiting the function of these enzymes, Gyrex inhibits normal cell division, resulting in bacterial cell death.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Gyrex is a highly effective antibacterial agent that offers a broad spectrum of activity against various Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. It is commonly used to treat ocular and ear infections, as well as mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains. By inhibiting DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, it can effectively kill bacteria and prevent further growth. If you have any questions or concerns about using it, consult with your healthcare provider.
