Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in various organ systems.

- Community‑Acquired Pneumonia: eradicates causative bacteria and improves respiratory symptoms. - Acute Bacterial Sinusitis: reduces sinus inflammation and clears infection. - Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection: eliminates uropathogens and resolves urinary symptoms. - Skin and Skin Structure Infections: treats cellulitis and other bacterial skin conditions. - Acute Bacterial Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis: controls bacterial overgrowth and improves breathing.

Levofloxacin may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, sometimes watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: especially Achilles tendon, may occur without warning. - QT interval prolongation: risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Severe allergic reactions: including anaphylaxis and Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Clostridioides difficile infection: severe colitis after antibiotic use. - Hepatic dysfunction: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice. - Anaphylaxis: rapid onset of life‑threatening hypersensitivity.

Levofloxacin requires careful consideration in certain patient groups and situations. - Renal impairment: dose adjustment may be required based on kidney function. - History of tendon disorders: avoid use due to increased risk of tendon rupture. - QT prolongation risk: monitor ECG in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. - Concomitant NSAIDs: may increase tendon injury risk. - Known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones: contraindicated. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Levofloxacin can interact with several medicines, affecting efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption. - Warfarin: may increase INR and bleeding risk. - Theophylline: levofloxacin can raise plasma theophylline levels. - Cyclosporine: increased cyclosporine concentrations may occur.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: heightened risk of central nervous system effects. - Oral hypoglycemics: possible alteration of blood glucose control. - Corticosteroids: combined use may raise tendon rupture risk.
