This medication works by multiple mechanisms. Firstly, it works by inhibiting prostaglandins and leukotrienes. It also works as a bactericidal by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase enzyme, which is essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This leads to expansion and destabilization of the bacterial DNA and causes cell death. Lastly, this medication has both fungistatic and fungicidal actions. It binds to phospholipids in the fungal cell membrane and alters its permeability.
