Levoflox, which contains the active ingredient Levofloxacin, is classified as a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This medication is effective against bacteria that cause a variety of infections, such as prostatitis, skin infections, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, and flare-ups of chronic bronchitis, among other conditions. Levoflox works by eliminating the bacteria responsible for the infection by inhibiting an enzyme necessary for bacterial reproduction. This action contributes to the resolution of the infection. However, it is important to note that Levoflox is only effective for bacterial infections.
 
For adults being treated for nosocomial pneumonia, physicians may prescribe a dosage of 750 mg every 24 hours, typically for a duration of 7 to 14 days. The specific length of treatment must be determined by the prescribing physician. Different dosages will apply for conditions such as prostatitis, sinusitis, and urinary tract infections, and patients are advised to strictly adhere to their doctor's instructions.
 
Use of Levoflox may lead to side effects like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances.
 
If you experience any side effects, it is important to inform your doctor. While severe side effects are rare, they can occur. Seek immediate medical help if you experience hallucinations, blisters, sore muscles or joints, uncontrollable shaking, severe headaches, or any other symptoms indicative of a serious reaction.
 
During Levoflox treatment, it is crucial to complete the entire prescribed course, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Patients with myasthenia gravis should avoid using Levoflox, as it may exacerbate their condition. If you suspect an allergic reaction, seek emergency medical assistance right away. Watch for symptoms that may indicate a reaction, including skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or extremities, difficulty breathing, and difficulty swallowing.
