Medical Uses
Medical Uses: Blujepa (gepotidacin) is a triazaacenaphthylene bacterial type II topoisomerase inhibitor used for the treatment of female adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kilograms (kg) with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI) caused by the following susceptible microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Citrobacter freundii complex, and Enterococcus faecalis.
Note: To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Blujepa and other antibacterial medicines, Blujepa must be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
Recommended Dosage:
The recommended dosage of Blujepa is 1,500 mg (two 750 mg tablets) taken orally (by mouth), twice daily (approximately 12 hours apart) for 5 days. Administer the prescribed dosage after a meal to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal intolerance.
If a dose is skipped or missed, instruct patients to take the skipped/missed dose as quickly as possible. It is not advisable to double the dose to make up for a skipped/missed dose.
