Di-iodohydroxyquinoline

Di-Iodohydroxyquinoline, also known as 5-Iodohydroxyquinoline, is an antibiotic medication used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria. It is part of a group of drugs called quinolones, which work by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.
This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. It is particularly useful in cases where other antibiotics have failed or are not recommended due to potential side effects or resistance.
Di-Iodohydroxyquinoline is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed for a duration of 7 to 14 days, depending on the severity and type of infection. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to reduce the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
While Di-Iodohydroxyquinoline is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or headache. In rare cases, more severe side effects may occur, including liver or kidney damage. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting this medication, especially for those with a history of liver or kidney issues, as the dosage may need to be adjusted accordingly.
