• Inhibition of Bacterial Enzymes: Norfloxacin works by inhibiting two essential bacterial enzymes - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.

• Prevention of Bacterial Replication: By halting the action of these enzymes, Norfloxacin prevents bacteria from replicating, repairing, and transcribing their DNA.

• Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Activity: This mechanism gives Norfloxacin a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, helping manage various bacterial infections effectively.
