How it works
Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Donyflox-500mg, works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes. These enzymes are essential for bacterial DNA replication and cell division. By interfering with these processes, levofloxacin stops the growth and multiplication of bacteria, allowing the body’s immune system to effectively clear the infection.
Dosage
The typical dosage is one 500mg tablet taken orally once daily, with or without food. However, the exact dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection. Always follow your doctor’s prescription and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better before it’s finished.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and trouble sleeping. More serious side effects, though rare, can include tendon rupture, nerve damage, and severe diarrhea. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Warning
Donyflox-500mg can cause serious side effects, including tendinitis and tendon rupture. It may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis. This medication may increase the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection. Avoid use in patients with known prolongation of the QT interval, patients with uncorrected hypokalemia, and patients receiving Class IA or Class III antiarrhythmic agents.
Important Information
Take Donyflox-500mg exactly as prescribed. Do not stop treatment early, even if symptoms improve. Inform your doctor of any medical conditions, especially tendon problems, nerve problems, or heart rhythm issues. This medication may cause sensitivity to sunlight; avoid prolonged sun exposure.
