Finafloxacin is primarily used as a broad-spectrum antibiotic, particularly effective against bacterial infections. It is often applied in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. Its unique property of enhanced activity in acidic environments makes it particularly suitable for infections in the urinary tract, where pH levels are often lower. Additionally, finafloxacin has shown promise in treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, offering a valuable option in cases where other antibiotics have failed. It is also being explored for use in veterinary medicine, particularly for treating bacterial infections in animals, including those affecting the ears and skin.
