ERRATUM	
	
We	recently	published	a	paper	entitled	“Photostability	studies	on	gemifloxacin	and	lomefloxacin	in	bulk	powder	and	dosage	forms”	
in	Eur.	J.	Chem.	5	(1)	(2014)	73‐80	[1].	We	provide	the	following	errata	for	the	above‐mentioned	paper.	
	
The	 authors	 would	 like	 to	 replace	 forth	 sentence	 (on	 page	 76,	 Section	 3.2.)	 with	 “The	 mass	 spectra	 of	 GFLX	 solution	 after	
illumination	 exhibited	 a	 complete	 degradation	 of	 the	 drug	 solution	 and	 formation	 of	 four	 degradation	 products	with	 molecular	
masses	as	follows:	335	(M‐∆,	CH3),	301	(M‐F,	‐∆,	CH2NH2),	294	(M‐F,	COOH,	CH3O)	and	289	(M‐∆,	CH3,	COOH)	for	Degradation	1	(Deg.	
1),	 Degradation	 2	 (Deg.	 2),	 Degradation	 3	 (Deg.	 3)	 and	 Degradation	 4	 (Deg.	 4),	 respectively	 (Figure	 7B).”	 due	 to	 the	 several	
typesetting	mistakes.		
 

The	authors	would	like	to	replace	Scheme	1	on	page	76	with	corrected	Scheme	1	has	been	presented	below:
