About this product

Overview

Levo 500mg Tablet contains Levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It is widely used to treat bacterial infections affecting various parts of the body, including the respiratory tract, skin, urinary tract, and sinuses. Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, essential for bacterial DNA replication, thereby preventing bacterial growth and proliferation.

Uses

Levo 500mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Respiratory tract infections such as community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, and acute sinusitis.
  • Skin and soft tissue infections including cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections.
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs) such as cystitis and pyelonephritis.
  • Prostatitis, gonorrhea, and pelvic inflammatory disease caused by susceptible bacteria.

Dosage and Administration

  • The dosage of Levo 500mg Tablet varies depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s renal function.
  • It is usually taken orally once or twice daily, with or without food.
  • The duration of treatment is determined by the treating physician based on the specific infection being treated.

Precautions

  • Levofloxacin should be used with caution in patients with a history of tendon disorders, as it may increase the risk of tendon rupture.
  • It should be avoided in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones.
  • Patients should be advised to drink plenty of fluids to prevent crystalluria, especially when treating UTIs.
  • Levofloxacin may prolong the QT interval and should be used cautiously in patients with known QT prolongation, electrolyte disturbances, or those taking medications that can prolong the QT interval.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Levofloxacin include:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Insomnia

More serious but rare side effects may include:

  • Tendon rupture
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Central nervous system effects such as seizures, hallucinations, and confusion
  • Hypersensitivity reactions including severe skin reactions and anaphylaxis

Interactions

  • Levofloxacin may interact with a variety of medications, including antacids, warfarin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and certain antiarrhythmic drugs.
  • It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting treatment with Levofloxacin.
