It does not treat viral illnesses such as colds or flu.

How it works: Gemifloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA. In tablet form, Grandflox 320 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help stop the infection-causing bacteria from growing and spreading.
