Levoflox 500mg

Product Description

What is Levoflox 500mg?

Levoflox 500 mg, an antibiotic containing Levofloxacin, acts by preventing the activity of the enzyme bacterial called DNA-gyrase. The bacterial cells are prevented from multiplying and killing cells.

The active ingredient in the medicine is Levofloxacin which is used to treat various infections caused by bacteria. It is ineffective on viral infections, such as those that cause common colds and influenza. It is crucial to take an antibiotic under medical supervision from a doctor. Ensure that you do not use an antibiotic if required since it could not work for any future illnesses.

How to Take Levoflox 500mg?

Take note of the prescription before you begin taking Levoflox 500 mg. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns regarding the usage of this medicine. Follow the directions given by your physician, typically every day, with no regard to food. Patients should take it at least every 2 hours, typically once each day, either prior to or after eating.

Make sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the entire course of treatment. Taking the Levofloxacin within two to three hours before or two hours following the use of other medications can cause it to perform less effectively. Examples are quinapril, vitamins sucralfate and other products which contain calcium, aluminium and magnesium.

Consult your physician about any items you use, including herbal supplements. Your doctor will determine the amount and duration of your medication. To get the best results, you should make sure you take it every day without missing any dose. Keep taking the medication until the entire prescribed duration is finished, even if symptoms improve within several days after starting the treatment. For children, the dose and duration also depend on the weight.

Precaution and Safety Advice

Before beginning your antibiotic therapy, inform your doctor about any medical issues, particularly diabetes, kidney issues, joint disorders, nervous disorders, mental illness, blood vessel diseases, seizures, high blood pressure, and certain genetic diseases (Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndrome).

Levoflox 500 mg could create a condition that can affect the heart's rhythm. People who are receiving antibiotic treatment might occasionally experience an irregular heartbeat and other signs like severe dizziness or fainting that require immediate medical attention.

Before taking Levofloxacin 500 mg, consult your physician if you suffer from particular medical conditions, such as an irregular heartbeat and heart failure. The low levels of potassium and magnesium in the bloodstream can alter the rhythm of your heart. The risk increases the more you use drugs like diuretics or water pills or experience diarrhoea, vomiting or sweating. Discuss with your physician how to take Levofloxacin 500 mg safely and efficiently.

Side Effects

Diarrhoea and nausea and headache, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, or lightheadedness can be a sign of lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, or nausea. If any of these symptoms persists or worsens, consult your doctor immediately. Most people taking this treatment don't suffer any negative side consequences. The drug rarely triggers serious adverse effects, such as liver disease, kidney problems, and unusual bleeding/bruising. Seek immediate medical attention right away if your heart is not beating as fast or has excessive dizziness.
