Levofin Tablets 500mg

Levofin 500mg Tablets are an oral, broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibacterial formulation containing levofloxacin (as hemihydrate), the optically active S-enantiomer of ofloxacin. It exerts a potent bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II). These enzymes are critical for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and supercoiling. By disrupting their function, Levofin arrests the bacterial replication cycle, leading to rapid cellular autolysis. It exhibits extensive in vitro activity against a diverse range of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical pathogens. Clinically, Levofin 500mg is indicated for treating moderate-to-severe systemic bacterial infections. Primary indications include community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), nosocomial pneumonia, acute bacterial sinusitis, acute pyelonephritis, complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), chronic bacterial prostatitis, and complicated skin and soft tissue infections. The standard adult dosage is 500mg administered orally once every 24 hours, though duration varies by infection site. Tablets should be swallowed whole with fluids and can be taken independently of food, but never concurrently with multivalent cation-containing antacids. It is strictly contraindicated in patients with a history of fluoroquinolone-induced tendinitis or hypersensitivity. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, insomnia, and dizziness.
