Additionally, it is utilized in the management of urinary tract infections, including complicated and uncomplicated cases, as well as skin and soft tissue infections.

It is important to complete the full prescribed course to prevent the development of resistance. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, dizziness, and photosensitivity.
