TROVAN TABLETS
TROVAN Tablets contain trovafloxacin mesylate, a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent for oral administration. Chemically, trovafloxacin mesylate, a fluoronaphthyridone related to the fluoroquinolone antibacterials, is (1a, 5a, 6a)-7-(6-amino-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-yl)-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-ox-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid, monomethanesulfonate. Trovafloxacin mesylate differs from other quinolone derivatives by having a 1,8-naphthyridine nucleus.
Its empirical formula is C20H15F3N4O3CH3SO3H and its molecular weight is 512.46.
Trovafloxacin mesylate is a white to off-white powder.
This Compliance Pak contains a single 100 mg (trovafloxacin equivalent) blue, film-coated TROVAN tablet. TROVAN Tablets contain microcrystalline cellulose, crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and magnesium stearate.

Azithromycin is derived from erythromycin; however, it differs chemically from erythromycin in that a methyl-substituted nitrogen atom is incorporated into the lactone ring. Its molecular formula is C38H72N2O12 and its molecular weight is 749.0.
