Frequently asked questions

What is Levendex used for?+
Levendex is an ophthalmic solution that combines a corticosteroid with a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is prescribed to treat bacterial conjunctivitis, manage postoperative eye inflammation, and reduce non‑infectious ocular inflammation by addressing both infection and inflammation in the same formulation.
How does dexamethasone and levofloxacin work in Levendex?+
Dexamethasone acts as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, suppressing inflammatory mediators and reducing swelling and redness. Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial replication and leading to bacterial cell death. Together they provide simultaneous anti‑inflammatory and antibacterial activity when applied to the eye.
What is the usual dose of Levendex?+
The dosing regimen for Levendex is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the specific indication, severity of the condition, and patient characteristics. The prescriber will provide detailed instructions on the number of drops, frequency, and duration of therapy.
Is Levendex safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Levendex in pregnancy and lactation are limited. The decision to use the product should be made by a qualified healthcare professional after weighing the potential benefits against any possible risks to the mother and the fetus or infant.
How do I order Levendex from GNH USA?+
To request Levendex, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Levendex compare with other eye‑drop treatments?+
Levendex offers a dual‑action formulation, combining a corticosteroid and a fluoroquinolone antibiotic in a single bottle. This contrasts with using separate steroid and antibiotic drops, which may require multiple administrations. The combination can simplify therapy and improve patient adherence while delivering both anti‑inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Levendex?+
Levendex should be stored at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the solution from direct light and moisture, and keep the container tightly closed when not in use to maintain sterility and potency.
How is Levendex administered?+
Levendex is applied topically to the eye as an ophthalmic solution. The patient should wash their hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac. The eye should be closed gently for a few seconds to allow absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levendex?+
Serious risks include allergic reactions such as swelling, rash or hives; severe eye pain, vision loss, or worsening infection; elevated intra‑ocular pressure that can threaten glaucoma patients; and rare events like corneal ulceration. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Levendex?+
Levendex should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to dexamethasone, levofloxacin, or any component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated in eyes with viral, fungal, or amoebic infections, and should be used with caution in individuals with uncontrolled glaucoma, diabetes, or systemic conditions that may be affected by steroids.
