norfloxacin and Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic

norfloxacin has been researched along with Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic in 15 studies

Norfloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone (FLUOROQUINOLONES) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA GYRASE.
norfloxacin : A quinolinemonocarboxylic acid with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Norfloxacin is bactericidal and its mode of action depends on blocking of bacterial DNA replication by binding itself to an enzyme called DNA gyrase.

Liver Cirrhosis, Alcoholic: FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to chronic excess ALCOHOL DRINKING.

( Beauchant, M; Becq-Giraudon, B; Bouquet, S; Breux, JP; Cardey, J; Fourtillan, JP; Silvain, C, 1987)
" It is proposed that the decreased plasma clearance of pefloxacin in patients with cirrhosis is a result of decreased hepatic metabolism of the drug, and that the dosage should probably be modified in these patients."1.27Pefloxacin kinetics in cirrhosis.
