Which drug is preferred in urinary and genital infections?
Norfloxacin
The correct answer is Norfloxacin.
Norfloxacin is a first-generation fluoroquinolone. It reaches high concentrations in urine and the genital tract but low levels in blood and most tissues, so it is used mainly for urinary tract and genital infections (and some bacterial diarrhoeas).
Ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin give good blood and tissue levels and are used for many systemic infections such as typhoid, respiratory, bone and joint infections.
Short trick: Norfloxacin stays low in blood but high in urine — so it treats urinary and genital infections.
