Pharmacology

Evo 500 mg is a synthetic, chiral fluorinated carboxyquinolone antibiotic. It exerts its antibacterial action by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, two essential enzymes required for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. Inhibition of these enzymes prevents bacterial cell division and leads to bacterial cell death. Evo 500 mg demonstrates potent in-vitro activity against a broad range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms.

• Acute sinusitis: 500 mg once daily for 10–14 days

• Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis: 250–500 mg once daily for 7–10 days

• Community-acquired pneumonia: 500 mg once or twice daily for 7–14 days

• Nosocomial pneumonia: 750 mg once daily for 7–14 days

• Skin and soft tissue infections: 500 mg once or twice daily for 7–14 days

• Urinary tract infections:

  • 250 mg once daily for 7–10 days
