No, ofloxacin is not penicillin. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, which means it works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, while penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that targets bacterial cell wall synthesis. They belong to different classes of antibiotics and have different mechanisms of action and spectra of activity against bacteria.
