Levofloxacin

Uses

Levofloxacin is used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is also effective for infections of the urinary tract, tonsils, sinuses, nose, throat, female genital organs, skin and soft tissues, and lungs (pneumonia).

How it Works

How Levofloxacin Works Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the activity of a bacterial enzyme known as DNA gyrase. This action prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing themselves, ultimately leading to their death.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Levofloxacin include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), increased liver enzymes, infusion site reactions, and inflammation of the vein.

Expert Advice

  • Your doctor has prescribed Levofloxacin to treat your infection and alleviate symptoms.
  • Do not skip any doses and complete the full course of treatment, even if you start to feel better.
  • Discontinue Levofloxacin and inform your doctor immediately if you experience:
    • a rash
    • itchy skin
    • swelling of the face or mouth
    • difficulties in breathing
  • Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should resolve once your treatment course is complete.
  • Inform your doctor if diarrhea persists or if you notice blood in your stools.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience:
    • pain in your tendons
    • numbness
    • tingling sensations
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
