Pharmacology:
-
Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that targets bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential for bacterial DNA replication. By inhibiting these enzymes, Levofloxacin prevents bacteria from replicating, leading to their death.
-
It has a broad spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Dosage:
-
The recommended dose for most infections is 750 mg once daily.
-
Treatment duration typically ranges from 5 to 14 days, depending on the type and severity of the infection.
-
For more severe infections, a doctor may increase the dose or the duration of treatment.
Administration:
-
Levoflox 750 mg should be taken orally with a full glass of water.
-
It can be taken with or without food, but it is advised to avoid taking it with dairy products or calcium-rich foods, as they may interfere with absorption.
-
Maintain consistent dosing times for better results.
Interaction:
-
Antacids, iron supplements, magnesium, or aluminum-containing medications can decrease the effectiveness of Levoflox 750 mg by interfering with its absorption.
-
It can also interact with antidiabetic drugs, blood thinners (like warfarin), and NSAIDs, so inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are using.
Contraindications:
-
Levoflox 750 mg is contraindicated in patients with a known allergy to Levofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics.
-
It should not be used in pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers unless absolutely necessary.
-
Children and adolescents under 18 should generally avoid Levofloxacin due to the risk of tendon damage.
Side Effects:
-
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and insomnia.
-
Serious side effects include tendonitis, tendon rupture, QT prolongation (heart rhythm issues), and CNS effects (seizures, confusion).
-
Allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat may occur in rare cases.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
-
Pregnancy: Levofloxacin should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the risk to the fetus.
-
Lactation: Levofloxacin passes into breast milk, so it is generally contraindicated during breastfeeding.
