Uses of Urixin Tablets 400mg

Urixin Tablets 400mg is used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections, such as cystitis, caused by bacteria that are sensitive to it.

Pipemidic acid is a quinolone antibiotic. It blocks DNA gyrase, an enzyme that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA. Without it, the bacteria cannot multiply and die, allowing the urinary infection to clear.
