ofloxacin has been researched along with Otitis Media with Effusion in 15 studies

Ofloxacin: A synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent that inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA GYRASE, halting DNA REPLICATION.
9-fluoro-3-methyl-10-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinoline-6-carboxylic acid : An oxazinoquinoline that is 2,3-dihydro-7H-[1,4]oxazino[2,3,4-ij]quinolin-7-one substituted by methyl, carboxy, fluoro, and 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl groups at positions 3, 6, 9, and 10, respectively.
ofloxacin : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of levofloxacin and dextrofloxacin. It is a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent which inhibits the supercoiling activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, halting DNA replication.

Otitis Media with Effusion: Inflammation of the middle ear with a clear pale yellow-colored transudate.

"After ascertaining the bacterial spectrum in 105 patients with Otitis media acutissima, Otitis media chronica mesotympanalis and Otitis media chronica epitympanalis, the efficacy of oral therapy with ofloxacin in five patients from each of these groups was assessed."7.67[Ofloxacin in the conservative therapy of acute and chronic otitis media--a preliminary clinical report of experiences].

( Lenarz, T, 1986)
"Ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone treatment is also superior to improvement in clinical response by visit, absence of otorrhea by visit, and reduction of otorrhea volume by visit."2.71Topical ciprofloxacin/dexamethasone otic suspension is superior to ofloxacin otic solution in the treatment of children with acute otitis media with otorrhea through tympanostomy tubes.

" The authors thus recommend a dosage of 400 mg of ofloxacin three to five hours prior to surgery for middle ear infection."1.27Tissue concentrations of ofloxacin in the middle ear. ( Thorn, V, 1987)
