What is G Cin 320

G Cin 320 contains Gemifloxacin as an active ingredient. This broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic is mainly administered to treat respiratory tract infections caused by bacterial growth. Lupin Ltd. manufactures G Cin 320. Gemifloxacin is a 2003 FDA-approved pharmaceutical ingredient.

Gemifloxacin is a respiratory infection antibiotic that inhibits two bacterial enzymes, topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase. These enzymes are key to transcribe (making RNA from DNA), replicate, and repair bacterial DNA. By blocking their function, G Cin 320 suppresses cell repair and division, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.

This medication is used to treat Pneumonia and Bronchitis caused by bacteria. It is taken orally with or without food, and plenty of fluids should be consumed when on dosage to control side effects. Generally, one G Cin 320 tablet a day is recommended for 5 or 7 days for adults.

In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as possible, but only if it doesn't overlap with the time of the next dose. Avoid double doses. Store the tablets at room temperature (15°C to 30°C) within a closed container to prevent sunlight and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children. Discard expired medication.

G Cin 320 may interact with Antacids, multivitamins, birth control pills, or medications used to prevent blood clots. It may also interact with iron supplements and zinc if taken simultaneously with medication. Take precautions in case of low potassium levels. G Cin 320 may elevate the risk of unconsciousness or a slow heartbeat.

What are the benefits of taking G Cin 320

G Cin contains 320 mg of Gemifloxacin that acts as a bacterial growth inhibitor by triggering bacterial cell death. It blocks enzymes that are crucial for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This prevents cell growth and ultimately causes bacterial death.

• Treatment of Pneumonia: G Cin 320 shows effectiveness against multi-drug-resistant S. pneumoniae strains and effectively penetrates the lung tissues to block two critical bacterial enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV). These enzymes have key roles in DNA repair, transcription (making RNA from DNA), and replication. It treats bacterial infection by triggering bacterial death.
• Treatment of Chronic Bronchitis: G Cin 320 is widely used for treating AECB (Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Bronchitis) caused by bacterial infection in the lungs. It targets strains of influenza and pneumoniae (including drug-resistant ones). 320 mg of Gemofloxacin has shown an 84.6% clinical success rate in treating AECB.

How to take G Cin 320

The G Cin 320 tablet is to be taken only when prescribed by a doctor to treat lung infections triggered by bacterial growth. Here are the general dosage guidelines:

• Take the medication orally as a whole, with or without food.
• Consume plenty of fluids when on this medication.
• Take one tablet of 320 mg at the same time for 5 or 7 days, depending on the prescription.

Gemifloxacin is well-absorbed by the human body, having 71% bioavailability, which means 71% of the medication effectively enters the bloodstream and starts its mechanism of action.
