Gemimac 320 mg Tablet

Gemimac 320 mg Tablet is an antibiotic tablet that contains 320 mg of gemifloxacin in each tablet. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, especially respiratory tract infections such as community-acquired pneumonia and acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis when prescribed appropriately. This product is made by Macleods Pharmaceuticals, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets. Gemimac 320 mg Tablet only treats bacterial infections, not colds or flu.

How it works: Gemifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that the germs need to copy their DNA and multiply. As a tablet, Gemimac 320 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract so the medicine can reach the infection site in the body.

Gemimac 320 mg Tablet is a higher-strength gemifloxacin tablet, so it is generally suited for adults whose doctor has specifically chosen this dose after assessing the infection, kidney function, and overall risk of side effects. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this 320 mg tablet represents the full prescribed dose in this product line and should not be split, doubled, or used as a casual starting dose.

• Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia
• Acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis
• Other bacterial infections only when prescribed by a doctor
• Treatment of susceptible gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria

• Swallow Gemimac 320 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it at the time and for the number of days your doctor prescribes, even if you feel better sooner.
• You may take it with or without food, but take it the same way each day if possible.

Each Gemimac 320 mg Tablet provides 320 mg of gemifloxacin per tablet, and the exact dose is chosen by a doctor based on the infection and the patient’s medical history. In many labeled regimens, this strength is taken once daily, but the maximum daily amount and total treatment length must be set by the prescriber, especially because this is a higher-strength fluoroquinolone tablet.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
