Dr. Chen Weiqing
Norfloxacin capsules belong to the quinolone class of antibiotics and have a broad antimicrobial spectrum. They are commonly used in clinical practice and offer the following therapeutic effects:
1. Treatment of urinary tract infections, such as pyelonephritis, urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea.
2. Treatment of intestinal infections—norfloxacin capsules effectively eliminate pathogenic bacteria harmful to humans, including *Escherichia coli* and *Salmonella typhi*, and are frequently used for acute gastroenteritis.
3. Treatment of prostatitis.
