BLUJEPA (gepotidacin mesylate)
BLUJEPA is an antibacterial medication that treats uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adult women and adolescent girls. It also helps patients with uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea, specifically those who have few or no other treatment options available. To help prevent the development of drug-resistant bacteria, this medication is used only when an infection is proven or strongly suspected to be bacterial in nature.
How BLUJEPA Works
This medication works by inhibiting bacterial type II topoisomerase, an enzyme essential for bacterial function. By targeting this specific protein, the drug interferes with the bacteria's ability to thrive, which helps clear the infection from the body.
