"Two different oral ofloxacin regimens, daily single-dose treatment with 200 mg (Regimen I) and every two week multidose treatment with 3 x 200 mg/day (Regimen II), were compared to evaluate the efficacy of quinolone regimens in controlling acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory tract infections."5.07Once daily versus every two week multidose ofloxacin in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disease. ( Watanabe, A, 1991)
"In a double-blind study of 137 patients with exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive lung disease, the efficacy and safety of ofloxacin was compared with that of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX)."5.07Double-blind comparative study of ofloxacin (Hoe 280) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in the treatment of patients with acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive lung disease.

"Ambroxol does not increase ofloxacin concentrations in bronchial tissue because high concentrations are already present in the lung."2.68Evaluation of the effects of ambroxol on the ofloxacin concentrations in bronchial tissues in COPD patients with infectious exacerbation. ( Bouvet, O; Bressolle, F; Chanez, P; Fabre, D; Galtier, M; Godard, P; Michel, FB; Paganin, F, 1995)
"Ofloxacin was found to be a safe, well-tolerated therapeutic agent, which was as effective clinically as amoxicillin or erythromycin and with an advantage of less frequent administration."2.66Ofloxacin in community-acquired lower respiratory infections. A comparison with amoxicillin or erythromycin. ( Garcia, JG; Griffith, DE; Kohler, RB; Stocks, JM; Wallace, RJ, 1989)
" This method was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of ofloxacin in 24 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients."1.29A reproducible, simple and sensitive HPLC assay for determination of ofloxacin in plasma and lung tissue. Application in pharmacokinetic studies. ( Bouvet, O; Bressolle, F; Fabre, D; Galtier, M; Kinowski, JM; Paganin, F, 1994)
