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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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: 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.
