Levofloxacin Hec Pharm (Levofloxacin)

Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes required for DNA replication and transcription. This blockade prevents bacterial cells from multiplying, leading to rapid bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms.

The specific dose of levofloxacin is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the infection being treated, patient age, renal function, and other clinical factors. Dosage regimens are individualized and should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety data for levofloxacin during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss alternatives with their healthcare provider.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity.

Levofloxacin offers once‑daily dosing and a broad spectrum that includes many respiratory, urinary, and skin pathogens, often allowing shorter courses compared with older fluoroquinolones. Compared with macrolides or beta‑lactams, it provides higher potency against certain Gram‑negative organisms but shares class‑related safety considerations such as tendon and QT risks.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not store in a refrigerator or freezer.

Levofloxacin Hec Pharm is taken orally, usually as a whole tablet swallowed with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but if antacids containing aluminum or magnesium are used, they should be spaced at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption.

Serious adverse events include tendon rupture (especially in the Achilles tendon), QT interval prolongation that can lead to arrhythmias, and severe hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden tendon pain, palpitations, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Levofloxacin is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation. It should also be avoided in patients with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use, those with established prolonged QT interval, and in children unless specifically prescribed for an approved indication.
