How It Works

Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV enzymes, essential for bacterial DNA replication and cell division, leading to rapid bacterial cell death.

Typically 750mg once daily for 5-14 days, depending on the infection type and severity. Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific dosing instructions.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, and dizziness. Less common effects can include insomnia, rash, and altered taste. Rare but serious side effects may include tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and severe diarrhea (C. difficile-associated).

Warning

Not recommended for patients with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use. May cause QT interval prolongation. Use with caution in elderly patients or those with kidney problems. Can increase the risk of aortic aneurysm or dissection in certain populations.

Interactions

May interact with antacids, iron supplements, and medications containing magnesium or aluminum. Can interact with NSAIDs, increasing the risk of CNS stimulation and seizures. May enhance the effect of oral anticoagulants.

Important Information
